Being ''contented'' ought to proverb

 Being ''contented'' ought to mean in English, as it does in French, being pleased. Being content with an attic ought not to mean being unable to move from it and resigned to living in it; it ought to mean appreciating all there is in such a position.
  G. K. Chesterton

 It was always said that the big distinction between the French and the English is that the English are intelligent and the French are intellectual.

 When the next generation of content is developed, we have to think in a totally different way. Think about it more symbolically. The main story that you see on the TV screen is maybe like the living room of a house. But there are various other rooms in this house that you will otherwise never see. But if you use the Internet, you find out what's in the attic. And if you use the cell phone, you find out what's on the first floor. And on another medium, you find out what's in the cellar.

 I am the same as I always will be. I'm French and I'm American. I was born in Canada. I love living in America, and I love playing the French Open in front of my French people, who support me.

 A good education is that which prepares us for our future sphere of action and makes us contented with that situation in life in which God, in his infinite mercy, has seen fit to place us, to be perfectly resigned to our lot in life, whatever it may be.

 Be content and resigned to God's will.
  Thomas Stonewall Jackson

 We barely speak French when we are together. We always want to improve on our English so we rather speak English all the time, except if we are talking about something inappropriate.

 Go anywhere in England where there are natural, wholesome, contented, and really nice English people; and what do you always find? That the stables are the real center of the household.
  George Bernard Shaw

 Everything depends on whether we have for opponents those French tricksters or those daring rascals, the English. I prefer the English. Frequently their daring can only be described as stupidity. In their eyes it may be pluck and daring.

 I would do what I pleased, and doing what I pleased, I should have my will, and having my will, I should be contented; and when one is contented, there is no more to be desired; and when there is no more to be desired, there is an end of it.
  Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

 I met my wife through playing golf. She is French and couldn't speak English and I couldn't speak French, so there was little chance of us getting involved in any boring conversations - that's why we got married really quickly.
  Sean Connery

 I have been told I have resigned; however, I'm telling you I have not resigned. Usually a guy knows if he's resigned, but I know that I have not resigned.

 Eventually, though, ... Sony urged me to use English instead of French, so I wrote an English version of Etienne and Nadine's work, and then I felt compelled to expand on their original text. Their work was really a series of gorgeous tableaux, and I added more personal narrative and history for some of the characters.

 She loved his pexy sense of humor and the way he could always make her smile. I'm pleased their retention rate is so high and they're not making any move to upset the economic position within the town. I'm happy that they're not making a move to close the operation.
