Joy Quotes (page 31)

Khalil Gibran quote: "And there are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor..."
And there are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue; Khalil Gibran
She'd lived through something the rest of them could never imagine. So much torture and horror that she didn't need to tell people about it. She'd never need drama or joy or pain ever again. Chuck Palahniuk
There was a leap of joy in him, like a flame lighting up in a dark lantern. At this moment he believed it was worth it. This moment of supreme beauty was worth all the wretchedness of the journey. It was always worth it. "For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory." It was the central truth of existence, and all men knew it, though they might not know that they knew it. Each man followed his own star through so much... Elizabeth Goudge
Saul Bellow quote: "To tell the truth I never had it so good. But I lacked the..."
To tell the truth I never had it so good. But I lacked the strength of character to bear such joy. Saul Bellow
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "You shall have joy, or you shall have power, said God; you..."
You shall have joy, or you shall have power, said God; you shall not have both. Ralph Waldo Emerson
I have felt a presence that disturbs me with the joy of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime of something far more deeply interfused, whose dwelling is the light of setting suns, and the round ocean, and the living air, and the blue sky, and in the mind of man... William Wordsworth
A life of short duration...could be so rich in joy and love that it could contain more meaning than a life lasting eighty years. Viktor E. Frankl
C. S. Lewis quote: "Dearest Daughter. I knew you would not be long in coming to..."
Dearest Daughter. I knew you would not be long in coming to me. Joy shall be yours. C. S. Lewis
All paths are the same: they lead nowhere. ... Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't, it is of no use. Both paths lead nowhere; but one has a heart, the other doesn't. One makes for a joyful journey; as long as you follow it, you are one with it. The other will make you curse your life. One makes you strong; the other weakens you. Carlos Castaneda
...this marvelous graceful thing, this joy of physics, this perfect balance between rebellion and obedience, is God's own signature on earth. Mark Helprin
I would not exchange the sorrows of my heart for the joys of the multitude. And I would not have the tears that sadness makes to flow from my every part turn into laughter. I would that my life remain a tear and a smile. Khalil Gibran
His youth seemed never so vanished as now in the contrast between the utter loneliness of this visit and that riotous, joyful party of four years before. Things that had been the merest commonplaces of his life then, deep sleep, the sense of beauty around him, all desire, had flown away and the gaps they left were filled only with the great listlessness of his disillusion. F. Scott Fitzgerald
It was a mere matter of seeing common things together and exchanging common speech concerning them, but each was so strongly conscious of the other that no sentence could seem wholly impersonal. There are times when the whole world is personal to a mood whose intensity seems a reason for all things. Words are of small moment when the mere sound of a voice makes an unreasonable joy. Frances Hodgson Burnett
Fyodor Dostoevsky quote: "They have succeeded in accumulating a greater mass of objects,..."
They have succeeded in accumulating a greater mass of objects, but the joy in the world has grown less. Fyodor Dostoevsky
If human beings are all monsters, why should I sacrifice anything for them?"Because they are beautiful monsters..., And when they live in a network of peace and hope, when they trust the world and their deepest hungers are fulfilled, then within that system, that delicate web, there is joy. That is what we live for, to bind the monsters together, to murder their fear and give birth to their beauty. Orson Scott Card
