“Happiness springs up from within. Do not seek it without.”
“First seek happiness from within, then you will find it without.”
“Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.”
“The Stoics say, " Retire within yourselves; it is there you will find your rest." And that is not true. Others say, "Go out of yourselves; seek happiness in amusement." And this is not true. Illness comes. Happiness is neither without us nor within us. It is in God, both without us and within us.”
“Happiness does not come from without, it comes from within”
“Wishes cannot be summoned up or kept away at will. They come from deeper within us than good or bad intentions. And they spring up unannounced.”
