The humble man still has God to call upon;

Joy can be felt in both prosperity and adversity.

His own values, moods and attitudes absorb him.

Pleasures must be arranged in a hierarchy if we are to get the greatest enjoyment out of life.

Joy has much more to do with the affections than with reason.

There are two movements towards happiness. The first of these is our withdrawal from the outside

neither was happy, because God originally had given each a place according to his ability, one that best suited his own nature.

This is because of their mistaken belief that their hunger for Infinity can be satisfied by an infinity of material things: what they really wish is the Infinity of Divine Love.

Joy is not derived from the things we get or the people we meet; it is manufactured by the soul itself, as it goes about its self-forgetful business.
