"Nine requisites for contented living: Health enough to make work a
pleasure. Wealth enough to support your needs. Strength 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 neighbor. Love enough to
move you to be useful and helpful to others. Faith enough to make real the
things of God. Hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning
the future."
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)
