Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul.

You know, my dear child, that one cannot find peace in work or in pleasure, in the world or in a convent, but only in one's soul.

Joy is not in things, it is in us.

Happiness can be found neither in ourselves nor in external things, but in God and in ourselves as united to him.

You are wrong if you think Joy emanates only or principally from human relationships. God has placed it all around us. It is in everything and anything we might experience. We just have to have the courage to turn against our habitual lifestyle and engage in unconventional living.

Happiness can come solely from within, but not for long - The Bern Seer -

Joy is spiritual. It is different, totally different from pleasure or happiness. It has nothing to do with the outside, with the other, it is an inner phenomenon.

Joy is inexplicable peace that comes from within.

Happiness is not determined by what's happening around you, but rather what's happening inside you.

It is difficult to find happiness within oneself, but it is impossible to find it anywhere else.

The soul is here for its own joy.

"Christopher McCandless:"I will miss you too, but you are wrong if you think that the joy of life comes principally from the joy of human relationships. God's place is all around us, it is in everything and in anything we can experience. People just need to change the way they look at things.

Perfect joy excludes even the very feeling of joy, for in the soul filled by the object no corner is left for saying 'I'. We cannot imagine such joys when they are absent, thus the incentive for seeking them is lacking.
