"There are two ways to get enough. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less."
– G.K. Chesterton
"Learn this from me. Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from inside. We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harm we do, we do to ourselves."
– Mitch Albom
I've heard it said that hating someone is like taking poison and waiting for your enemy to die.

Both quotes are very good. I thinkthe one from Mitch Alborn is the most difficult to learn.

I agree the quote from Mitch Albom is so true and difficult to learn. We only hurt ourselves.

Desiring less than I could afford has always been my goal and life practice. Consequently, at 66 I have landed in a good financial place. If one is a young working person or student, this lifelong practice can assure success.
