Joys Quotes
-
A real friend ... exults in his friends happiness, rejoices in all his joys, and is ready to afford him the best advice.
Herodotus
-
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
-
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
-
One man envies the success in life of another, and hates him in secret; nor is he willing to give him good advice when he is consulted, except it be by some wonderful effort of good feeling, and there are, alas, few such men in the world. A real friend, on the other hand, exults in his friend's happiness, rejoices in all his joys, and is ready to afford him the best advice.
Herodotus
-
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
-
Every morning when I awake, the greatest of joys is mine: that of being Salvador Dali.
Salvador Dali

It was in the eyes that all the joys and scars floated like lotus leaves just below the surface of a pond.
Colin Cotterill
-
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.
George Michael
-
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
-
It is strange what a contempt men have for the joys that are offered them freely.
Georges Duhamel
-
I have mental joys and mental health, Mental friends and mental wealth, I've a wife that I love and that loves me; I've all but riches bodily.
William Blake
-
Such, such were the joys
When we all, girls and boys,
In our youth time were seen
On the Echoing Green.
William Blake
-
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
-
“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
-
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
-
Our limitations and joys begin in our hearts. We can always replace negative with positive.
Betty Eadie

A sailor's joys are as simple as a child's.
Bernard Moitessier
-
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
-
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
-
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
-
She was sensible and clever, but eager in everything; her sorrows, her joys, could have no moderation.
Jane Austen
-
And even when success comes, as I am sure it will, bear in mind that there are more quiet and enviable joys than to be among the most sought after women at a ball.
Blanche Wiesen Cook
