JOY QUOTATIONS
“Joy is a decision, a really brave one, about how you are going to respond to life.”

Wess Stafford

“Joy is the holy fire that keeps our purpose warm and our intelligence aglow.”

Helen Keller

“Watch the sunrise at least once a year, put a lot of marshmallows in your hot chocolate, lie on your back and look at the stars, never buy a coffee table you can't put your feet on, never pass up a chance to jump on a trampoline, don't overlook life's small joys while searching for the big ones.”

H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

“Joy is not in things; it is in us.”

Richard Wagner

“Find joy in everything you choose to do. Every job, relationship, home... it's your responsibility to love it, or change it.”

Chuck Palahniuk

“I define joy as a sustained sense of well-being and internal peace—a connection to what matters.”

Oprah Winfrey

“Just follow your joy. Always. I think that if you do that, life will take you on the course that it’s meant to take you.”

Jonathan Groff

“A joy shared is a joy doubled.”

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“Joy is a net of love in which you can catch souls.”

Mother Teresa

“The joy of brightening other lives, bearing each others' burdens, easing others' loads and supplanting empty hearts and lives with generous gifts becomes for us the magic of the holidays.”

W.C. Jones

“We find greatest joy, not in getting, but in expressing what we are. Men do not really live for honors or for pay; their gladness is not the taking and holding, but in doing, the striving, the building, the living. It is a higher joy to teach than to be taught. It is good to get justice, but better to do it; fun to have things but more to make them. The happy man is he who lives the life of love, not for the honors it may bring, but for the life itself.”

R.J. Baughan

“Joy is increased by spreading it to others.”

Robert Murray M'Cheyne

Please add gentleness to your list of values. Too often this incredible virtue is overlooked and needs to be revived.
