Neale Donald Walsch Quotes

Happiness grows at our own firesides, and is not to be picked in strangers' gardens.

I try to live by the rule do what makes you happy.

People create from different places. Some love to create from a tortured place, some from a joyful place. And when I feel like I'm a 5-year-old kid in my backyard playing pretend, that's when I'm happiest.

If my children are happy, I'm happy.

I believe that the very purpose of our life is to seek happiness. That is clear. Whether one believes in religion or not, whether one believes in this religion or that religion, we all are seeking something better in life. So, I think, the very motion of our life is towards happiness.

True happiness is not out there. True happiness lies within.

My dad said, "As long as you're happy." I used to think it was kind of a very simple idea or philosophy because he wasn't religious. But you've got to try and be happy. And if you're not happy, you can't help anyone else. So obviously, some crazy people could go to places, but I just think you need to be content within yourself, so that's the thing.

Joy is the best makeup.

What matters — all that matters, really is the will to happiness, a kind of enormous, ever present consciousness. The rest - women , art, success — is nothing but excuses. A canvas waiting for our embroideries.

Happiness is the best revenge, you know? Just be happy. It's a choice.

The greatest joys and the greatest sorrows we experience are in family relationships. The joys come from putting the welfare of others above our own. That is what love is. And the sorrow comes primarily from selfishness, which is the absence of love. The ideal God holds for us is to form families in the way most likely to lead to happiness and away from sorrow.

Happiness is the joy we feel striving after our potential.

Paradise is here or nowhere: you must take your joy with you or you will never find it.

I am simply content to find myself always imperfect, and in this I find my joy. Good deeds count as nothing, if done without love.

Happiness is temporary and fleeting. ... Joy is the right goal.

Beauty might bring happiness, but happiness always brings beauty.

Without order there can be no inner satisfaction. Without inner satisfaction there can be no freedom. Without freedom there is no joy.

Happiness is the true beauty weapon.

Riches can all be lost, but that happiness in your own heart can only be veiled, and it will bring you happiness again, as long as you live.

The things that make us happy make us wise.

Happiness is your choice. You can choose today.

Each human being has the right to seek out joy, joy being understood as something which makes one content - not necessarily that which makes others content.
