To be completely a woman you need a master, and in him a compass for your life. You need a man you can look up to and respect. If you dethrone him it`s no wonder that you are discontented, and discontented women are not loved for long.

- Marlene Dietrich

We are never more discontented with others than when we are discontented with ourselves.

- Alexander Nikonov

When a man is discontented with himself, it has one advantage - that it puts him into an excellent frame of mind for making a bargain.

- Allison Hanna

I never saw a discontented tree. They grip the ground as though they liked it, and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do.

- John Muir

FIRST keep thyself in peace, and then shalt thou be able to be a peacemaker towards others. A peaceable man doth more good than a well-learned. A passionate man turneth even good into evil and easily believeth evil; a good, peaceable man converteth all things into good. He who dwelleth in peace is suspicious of none, but he who is discontented and restless is tossed with many suspicions, and is neither quiet himself nor suffereth others to be quiet. He often saith what he ought not to say, and omitteth what it were more expedient for him to do. He considereth to what duties others are bound, and neglecteth those to which he is bound himself. Therefore be zealous first over thyself, and then mayest thou righteously be zealous concerning thy neighbour.

- Thomas Kempis
