Multa petentibus — Satisfaction

"Est bien fou du cerveau Qui prétend contenter tout le monde et son père."

"God has not the slightest difficulty in bringing to a fullness of creation the person who is in some way incomplete and recognises this. The problem is with those who think that they are complete, and that creation is, at least in their case, finished."

"Nul nest content de sa fortune; Ni mécontent de son esprit."

"Les délicats sont malheureux, Rien ne saurait les satisfaire."

"Give me, indulgent gods! with mind serene, And guiltless heart, to range the sylvan scene; No splendid poverty, no smiling care, No well-bred hate, or servile grandeur, there."

"Mach es Wenigen recht; vielen gefallen ist schlimm."
