Joys Quotes
-
Faith is the fullness to realize that each moment of our lives is a gift; that the whole of our lives is a spiritual journey, whether in our darkest hours or brightest joys.
Bo Lozoff
-
Men and women who turn their lives over to God will discover that He can make a lot more out of their lives than they can. He can deepen their joys, expand their vision, quicken their minds, strengthen their muscles, lift their spirits, multiply their blessings, increase their opportunities, comfort their soals, and pour out peace.
Ezra Taft Benson
-
Such, such were the joys
When we all, girls and boys,
In our youth time were seen
On the Echoing Green.
William Blake
-
The worst of misery
Is when a nature framed for noblest things
Condemns itself in youth to petty joys,
And, sore athirst for air, breathes scanty life
Gasping from out the shallows.
George Eliot
-
The highest happiness, the purest joys of life, wear out at last.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The man from whom the joys of life have departed is living no more, but should be counted with the dead.
Sophocles

Banish, therefore, from thy heart the distractions of earth and turn thine eyes to spiritual joys, that thou mayest learn at last to repose in the light of the contemplation of God.
Albertus Magnus

And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds and binding with briars my joys and desires. (from 'The Garden of Love')
William Blake

Without despair, we will share, and the joys of caring will not be erased. What has been, must never end, the joys of caring will not be replace.

A sailor's joys are as simple as a child's.
Bernard Moitessier
-
Of all the joys of life which may fairly come under the head of recreation there is nothing more great, more refreshing, more beneficial in the widest sense of the word, than a real love of the beauty of the world... to those who have some feeling that the natural world has beauty in it I would say, Cultivate this feeling and encourage it in every way you can. Consider the seasons, the joy of the spring, the splendour of the summer, the sunset colours of the autumn, the delicate and graceful bareness of winter trees, the beauty of snow, the beauty of light upon water, what the old Greek called the unnumbered smiling of the sea.
Edward Grey, 1st Viscount Grey of Fallodon
-
Our limitations and joys begin in our hearts. We can always replace negative with positive.
Betty Eadie

Illustrious confessors of Jesus Christ, a Christian finds in prison the same joys as the prophets tasted in the desert. Call it not a dungeon, but a solitude. When the soul is in heaven, the body feels not the weight of fetters; it carries the whole man along with it.
Tertullian
-
“He who endures distress, will be granted joys; and he who bears with unpleasant things, will not be deprived of the pleasant.”
Nilus of Sinai
-
She was sensible and clever, but eager in everything; her sorrows, her joys, could have no moderation.
Jane Austen
-
Climb if you will, but remember that courage and strength are nought without prudence, and that a momentary negligence may destroy the happiness of a lifetime. Do nothing in haste; look well to each step; and from the beginning think what may be the end
Edward Whymper
-
Poets and songwriters speak highly of spring as one of the great joys of life in the temperate zone, but in the real world most of spring is disappointing. We looked forward to it too long, and the spring we had in mind in February was warmer and dryer than the actual spring when it finally arrives. We'd expected it to be a whole season, like winter, instead of a handful of separate moments and single afternoons.
Barbara Holland
-
Take life too seriously, and what is it worth? If the morning wake us to no new joys, if the evening bring us not the hopes of new pleasures, is it worth while to dress and undress? Does the sun shine on me today that I may reflect on yesterday? That I may endeavor to foresee and control what can neither be foreseen nor controlled - the destiny of tomorrow?
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
-
While my stories are experimental, they're also very traditional. I love the works of the great Russian writers like Pavel Chekhov and Lev Tolstoy, and their ability to portray our human struggles and joys.
Alexander Weinstein
-
To regret the exchange of earthly pleasures for the joys of Heaven, is as if the grovelling caterpillar should lament that it must one day quit the nibbled leaf to soar aloft and flutter through the air, roving at will from flower to flower, sipping sweet honey from their cups, or basking in their sunny petals.
Anne Bronte
