I found this quote on a scrap of newsprint I cut out of the Daily Universe like 10 years ago, folded up in my triple. I am glad that I did, since I really needed this today.
There are nine requisites for contented living: Health enough to make work a pleasure; Wealth enough to support your needs; Strength enough to battle with difficulties and forsake them; Grace enough to confess your sins and overcome them; Patience enough to toil until some good is accomplished; Charity enough to see some good in your neighbor; Love enough to move you to be useful and helpful to others; Faith enough to make real the things of God; Hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future.
- Goethe
