Neale Donald Walsch Quotes

You are without needs. There is nothing that you need in order to be perfectly happy. You only think that there is. Your deepest, most perfect happiness will be found within, and once you find it, nothing exterior to your Self can match it, nor can anything destroy it.

There is no happiness outside of ourselves.

All the happiness you ever find lies in you.

It's what's in *yourself* that makes you happy or unhappy.

Human happiness and human satisfaction must ultimately come from within oneself. It is wrong to expect some final satisfaction to come from money or from a computer.

You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace.

Happiness does not come from without, it comes from within

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.

You believe happiness to be derived from the place in which once you have been happy, but in truth it is centered in ourselves.

You can have everything in the world, but if you aren't happy within yourself, it's not worth it.

Most people are searching for happiness. They're looking for it. They're trying to find it in someone or something outside of themselves. That's a fundamental mistake. Happiness is something that you are, and it comes from the way you think.

Happiness is hard because it's very subjective. I know the people that seem happiest to me, but whether they are actually - what they're really like inside is really hard to say.

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

Take whatever cause for outward happiness you might have and take it within yourself, so that, if the sun should go out, you will not be any less happy; if the birds stop singing you will not be any less happy.

You have so much inside you, and the noblest happiness of all. Don’t just wait for a man to come along. That’s the mistake so many women make. Find your happiness in yourself.

Happiness cannot come from without. It must come from within. It is not what we see and touch or that which others do for us which makes us happy; it is that which we think and feel and do, first for the other fellow and then for ourselves.

To me 'they lived happily ever after' means to be happy with yourself! My parents always taught me that being happy has to work without Prince Charming. My life is completed without a prince but it's nice of course to have someone who loves you and fights for you.

Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside.

The marriage partner is not really the problem. No other person can ultimately make you happy. You must learn how to be happy within yourself.

Find your happiness in yourself.

A man's felicity consists not in the outward and visible blessing of fortune, but in the inward and unseen perfections and riches of the mind.

I really always expected to somebody to make me happy and I don't think you can really enter into a relationship until you are happy.

I always feel that it's great when you can be happy when you're by yourself. That's not a bad thing.

Happiness can't start with external stuff, whether that's money or success or your body.

There is no external means, whether it's my career, or money or house or a wife or anything, that is going to set me right.
