Money is unimportant, but it is reassuring to have it.

Toho, co snadno získáme, si příliš nevážíme. Pouze to, o co musíme usilovat, má skutečnou hodnotu.

The bottom line is, if we feel like we’re losing something, we avoid it; we won’t do it.

How little a thing can make us happy when we feel that we have earned it.

That which we obtain too easily, we esteem lightly.

If you cannot get things as much as you desire than be contented with what you have.

من النادر أن نفكر فيما نملك بل نحن نفكر فيما ينقصنا

Little things comfort us because little things distress us.

For it falls out
That what we have we prize not to the worth
Whiles we enjoy it, but being lacked and lost,
Why, then we rack the value, then we find
The virtue that possession would not show us
While it was ours.

We have a tendency to overcome any strong tension between desire and impotence by depreciating or denying the positive value of the desired object.

The Way to think we have enough, is not to desire to have too much.

there is always
a comforting thought
in time of trouble when
it is not our trouble

That which we obtain too easily we esteem too lightly.

If our best efforts come to nothing often enough, we need consolation, and thoughts of unfolding, infinite destiny, or karma, are sometimes consoling.
