I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

Being forced to work, and forced to do your best, will breed in you temperance and self-control, diligence and strength of will, cheerfulness and content, and a hundred virtues which the idle will never know.

Good humor is a tonic for mind and body. It is the best antidote for anxiety and depression. It is a business asset. It attracts and keeps friends. It lightens human burdens. It is the direct route to serenity and contentment.

Television is much better crafted today then in the 70s. The content is less positive but I'm one of those that feel our entertainment reflects our world, it's not a driver - art imitates life.

Now I'm having to live with sales of around 50,000 per album - but I'm pretty content with my place in the general scheme of things, even if it's meant I don't drive a fancy car and can't afford grand vacations.

You can browse to your heart's content but it's hard work and not easy on the feet unless you do it through catalogs or the Internet, and I like to touch and try on the things I buy.

Although my art work was heavily informed by my design work on a formal and visual level, as regards meaning and content the two practices parted ways.

Children learn and remember at least as much from the context of the classroom as from the content of the coursework.

Nobody got anywhere in the world by simply being content.

The teller of a mirthful tale has latitude allowed him. We are content with less than absolute truth.

The world is full of people looking for spectacular happiness while they snub contentment.

George Orwell's contention was that it is a sure sign of trouble when things can no longer be called by their right names and described in plain, forthright speech.

The Indians, I was now speaking of, were not content with the common Enemies that lessen and destroy their Country-men, but invented an infallible Stratagem to purge their Tribe, and reduce their Multitude into far less Numbers.

The realistic value of a work is completely independent of its properties in terms of content.

We are no more content to plod along the beaten paths - and so marriage must go the way of God.

To be content with life or to live merrily, rather all that is required is that we bestow on all things only a fleeting, superficial glance; the more thoughtful we become the more earnest we grow.

My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.

The greatest wealth is to live content with little, for there is never want where the mind is satisfied.

The role of the musician is to go from concept to full execution. Put another way, it's to go from understanding the content of something to really learning how to communicate it and make sure it's well-received and lives in somebody else.
