 The richest person is the one who's content with his lot.
-Dutch Proverb
Those have care for the morrow who are not content with their lot; who do not trust in the Divine, but in themselves; and who have regard for only worldly and earthly things, and not for heavenly things.They grieve if they do not obtain the objects of their desire, and feel anguish at the loss of them.
Very different is
the case with those who trust in the Divine. These, notwithstanding they
have care for the morrow, still have it not, because they do not think of the morrow with anxiety. Unruffled is their spirit whether they obtain the objects of their desire or not, and they do not grieve over the loss of them, being content with their lot. If they become rich, they do not set their hearts on riches; if they are raised to honors, they do not regard themselves as more worthy than others; if they become poor, they are not made sad; if their circumstances are mean, they are not dejected. They know that for those who trust in the Divine all things
advance toward a happy state to eternity.
