There are nine requisites for contented living:
1. HEALTH: That you have enough to make work a pleasure.
2. WEALTH: You have enough to support your needs.
3. STRENGTH: You have enough to battle with difficulties and forsake them.
4. GRACE: You have enough to confess your sins and overcome them.
5. PATIENCE: You have enough to toil until some good is accomplished.
6. CHARITY: You give enough to see some good in your neighbor.
7. LOVE: That you have 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
