Donald Miller Quotes

We don't need an abundance of things.

What we really need is to realize how little we really need.

A short cut to riches is to subtract from our desires.

I'm not into the money thing. You can only sleep in one bed at a time. You can only eat one meal at a time, or be in one car at a time. So I don't have to have millions of dollars to be happy. All I need are clothes on my back, a decent meal, and a little loving when I feel like it. That's the bottom line.

I'm happy without money.

You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need.

The more we have the less we own.

I do not need a lot of money to be happy.

Be satisfied with needs instead of wants.

I don't need a whole lot.

After I had money, I realized about all that all the things I thought I wanted that I don't need a lot of stuff. If there's anything I get excited by, it's a nice car.

We shall have to practise to lead our life on the basis of our needs, not under the influence of our greed.

He is the richest who is content with the least.

When you've got everything you need, why complicate it?

It's the secret to happiness, you know. Only take what you need.

Those who want much, are always much in need; happy the man to whom God gives with a sparing hand what is sufficient for his wants.

We need to develop a sense of sufficiency to be happy.

The more we simplify our material needs the more we are free to think of other things.

Let your capital be simplicity and contentment.

In my life, what I want and what I need are exactly the same. Anything in excess of needs is burdensome to me. You couldn't give me anything I don't need. I am penniless, but have difficulty remaining so. Several of my well meaning, well-to-do friends have offered me large sums of money, which I of course refused.
