The following list was composed by German philosopher, Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe:
Nine keys to contentment:
- Health enough to make work a pleasure
- Wealth enough to support your needs
- Strength enough to battle with difficulties and overcome them
- Grace enough to confess your sins and forsake them
- Patience enough to toil until some good is accomplished
- Charity enough to see some good in your neighbors
- Love enough to move you to be useful and helpful to others
- Faith enough to make real things of God
- Hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future
