吾唯足知
Ware tada taru wo shiru (吾唯足知) is a Japanese four-character idiom, or yojijukugo, that literally means "I alone know what is enough." It describes the idea that true wealth lies in contentment with what one already has, rather than in continually pursuing more. The phrase is associated with a stone basin at Ryoan-ji temple in Kyoto and reflects Taoist and Zen thought. It is comparable in spirit to the English saying "enough is as good as a feast."
