David Given Schwarm

You were made for perfect happiness. That is your purpose. No wonder everything short of God disappoints you.

It is God you are looking for. Your unhappiness is not due to your want of fortune, or high position, or fame, or sufficient vitamins; it is due not to want of something outside you, but to a want of something inside you.

You think you are having a good time, but time really is the greatest obstacle in the world to happiness, not only because it makes you take pleasures successively, but also because you are never really happy until you are unconscious of the passing of time.

Pleasure is of the body; joy is of the mind and heart.
