The only joy in the world is to begin.
Cesare Pavese
This is the best kind of voyeurism, hearing joy from your neighbors.
Chuck Sigars
Give not over thy soul to sorrow; and afflict not thyself in thy own counsel. Gladness of heart is the life of man and the joyfulness of man is length of days.
Ecclesiaste
Do not judge men by mere appearances; for the light laughter that bubbles on the lip often mantles over the depths of sadness, and the serious look may be the sober veil that covers a divine peace and joy.
Edward Chapin
Short is the joy that guilty pleasure brings.
Euripides
During [these] periods of relaxation after concentrated intellectual activity, the intuitive mind seems to take over and can produce the sudden clarifying insights which give so much joy and delight.
Fritjof Capra
This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of Nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.
George Bernard Shaw
We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.
Helen Keller
I feel like a tiny bird with a big song!
Jerry Van Amerongen
I’ve grown to realize the joy that comes from little victories is preferable to the fun that comes from ease and the pursuit of pleasure.
Lawana Blackwell
I cannot believe that the inscrutable universe turns on an axis of suffering; surely the strange beauty of the world must somewhere rest on pure joy!
Louise Bogan
Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of a joy you must have somebody to divide it with.
Mark Twain
May your walls know joy; May every room hold laughter and every window open to great possibility.
Maryanne Radmacher-Hershey
