Joy
(page 3)
Peace is the beauty of life. It is sunshine. It is the smile of a child, the love of a mother, the joy of a father, the togetherness of a family. It is the advancement of man, the victory of a just cause, the triumph of truth.
Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy, happiness, negativity, pain... To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices - today I choose to feel life, not to deny my humanity but embrace it.
If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive.
The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life.
If we're destroying our trees and destroying our environment and hurting animals and hurting one another and all that stuff, there's got to be a very powerful energy to fight that. I think we need more love in the world. We need more kindness, more compassion, more joy, more laughter. I definitely want to contribute to that.
Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.
Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life's deepest joy: true fulfillment.
We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
I think of animals more as spirits that come and go. They enter our lives at a particular time and they leave at a particular time. The whole glorious history of animals with people is about joy and connection. It's about loving this creature and letting this creature love you.
The garden of love is green without limit and yields many fruits other than sorrow or joy. Love is beyond either condition: without spring, without autumn, it is always fresh.
A thing of beauty is a joy forever: its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness.
When you jump for joy, beware that no one moves the ground from beneath your feet.
We're never so vulnerable than when we trust someone — but paradoxically, if we cannot trust, neither can we find love or joy.
The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again.
Until you have a son of your own... you will never know the joy, the love beyond feeling that resonates in the heart of a father as he looks upon his son.
No one feels another's grief, no one understands another's joy. People imagine they can reach one another. In reality they only pass each other by.
We need more kindness, more compassion, more joy, more laughter. I definitely want to contribute to that.
When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy,
And the dimpling stream runs laughing by;
When the air does laugh with our merry wit,
And the green hill laughs with the noise of it.
I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.
Once my heart was captured, reason was shown the door, deliberately and with a sort of frantic joy. I accepted everything, I believed everything, without struggle, without suffering, without regret, without false shame. How can one blush for what one adores?
