“I can get sad, I can get frustrated, I can get scared, but I never get depressed - because there's joy in my life.”
Michael J. Fox
“The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding.”
Leonardo da Vinci
“The deeper that sorrow carves into your being the more joy you can contain. Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven?”
Kahlil Gibran
“We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.”
Buddha
“Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls. A joyful heart is the inevitable result of a heart burning with love”
Mother Teresa
“The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it's the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friend.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“... joy and sorrow are inseparable. . . together they come and when one sits alone with you . . . remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.”
