"It is to be lamented that we are easily dissatisfied where we ought to be content, and content where we ought to be dissatisfied."
"In temporal matters we should have our conversation without covetousness, and be content with such things as we have; but here, alas! we are avariciously anxious. . . But in spiritual things, with what trifling acquisitions are we contented! Yet here it is even our duty to be covetous, to be ambitious! And as before us lies an infinite fullness, and we not straitened in our resources, let us not be straitened in our desires and expectations, but ask and recive, that our joy may be full."
