On finding peace/contentment within:
Come away from the din. Come away to the quiet fields, over which the great sky stretches, and where, between us, and the stars, there lies but silence; and there in the stillness, let us listen to the voice that is speaking within us. (Jerome K. Jerome)
Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not. (Ralph Waldo Emerson)
There is a quietness, a contentment, at the heart of all that is - beneath the noise and bustle, the excitements and the terrors. (Charlotte Gray)
Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed, and in such desperate enterprises? If a man cannot keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears. (Henry David Thoreau)
Do not let trifles disturb your tranquility of mind ... life is too precious to be sacrificed for the non-essential and transient. (Grenville Kleiser)
Don't hurry, don't worry. You're only here for a short visit. So be sure to stop and smell the flowers. (Walter Hagen).
