Hu Shih Quotes

The Most Outstanding Characteristic Of Eastern Civilization Is To Know Contentment, Whereas That Of Western Civilization Is Not To Know Contentment. Contented Easterners Are Satisfied With Their Simple Life And Therefore Do Not Seek To Increase Their Material Enjoyment ... They Are Satisfied With Their Present Lot And Environment And Therefore Do Not Want To Conquer Nature But Merely Be At Home With Nature And At Peace With Their Lot.
