“If they knew that they are happy, they would be happy.”

“Happiness does not lie in happiness, but in the achievement of it.”

“For men are made for happiness, and any one who is completely happy has a right to say to himself, ‘I am doing God's will on earth.’ All the righteous, all the saints, all the holy martyrs were happy.”

“Men are made for happiness, and he who is completely happy has the right to say to himself, 'I am doing God's will on earth.”

“But what are years, what are months!" he would exclaim. "Why count the days, when even one day is enough for man to know all happiness.”

“The greatest happiness is to know the source of unhappiness.”

“This is my last message to you: in sorrow, seek happiness.”
