When you make genuine contact with your inner Spirit, there is an inner joy, an inner peace, that takes over.

Michael Beckwith

Go for the sense of inner joy, of inner peace, of inner vision first and then all the other things from the outside appear.

Marci Shimoff

We must discover the joy of each other, the joy of challenge, the joy of growth.

Mitsugi Saotome

Christmas is joy, religious joy, an inner joy of light and peace.

Pope Francis

Can you go a whole day with joy in your heart? Joy and vitality are an inseparable combination. Joy is not concerned with having fun; it is an inner spiritual quality that overcomes despair, pain and defeat. You cannot turn on joy like an electric light, but you can prepare yourself to receive it.

Norman Vincent Peale

Religious faith not only lacks evidence, its independence from evidence is its pride and joy, shouted from the rooftops.

Richard Dawkins

True inner joy is self-created It does not rely on any outer circumstances A river is flowing in and through you carrying the message of joy. This divine joy is the sole purpose of life.

Sri Chinmoy

The ego must be able to listen attentively and to give itself, without any further design or purpose, to that inner urge toward growth. People living in cultures more securely rooted than our own have less trouble in understanding that it is necessary to give up the utilitarian attitude of conscious planning in order to make way for the inner growth of the personality.

Marie-Louise von Franz

I wish someone would give me one shred of neutral evidence that financial innovation has led to economic growth — one shred of evidence.

Paul Volcker

Joy is hidden in sorrow and sorrow in joy. If we try to avoid sorrow at all costs, we may never taste joy, and if we are suspicious of ecstasy, agony can never reach us either. Joy and sorrow are the parents of our spiritual growth.

Henri Nouwen

It is through solving problems correctly that we grow spiritually. We are never given a burden unless we have the capacity to overcome it. If a great problem is set before you, this merely indicates that you have the great inner strength to solve a great problem. There is never really anything to be discouraged about, because difficulties are opportunities for inner growth, and the greater the difficulty the greater the opportunity for growth.

Peace Pilgrim

Understand that there is no relationship between your inner happiness and your inner joy and the outer things that you experience and behold in the world, that it all begins with you, the world is a mirror to your own Self, when you can look at things and feel joy not in the things but in yourself.

Goswami Kriyananda

A combination of very rapid population growth over the last 50 years and reckless economic growth during the same time has stored up massive problems for societies the world over. No nation is immune. The scientific evidence tells us all we need to know: carry on with business-as-usual growth-at-all-costs, and we're stuffed

Jonathon Porritt

Fairy tale does not deny the existence of sorrow and failure: the possibility of these is necessary to the joy of deliverance. It denies (in the face of much evidence, if you will) universal final defeat...giving a fleeting glimpse of Joy; Joy beyond the walls of the world, poignant as grief.

J. R. R. Tolkien

Spiritual growth requires the development of inner knowing and inner authority. It requires the heart, not the intellect.

Gary Zukav

Meditation cannot be purchased and no one can give it to you. You have to achieve it. It is not something outer, it is something inner, a growth, and that growth comes through awareness.

Rajneesh
