One filled with joy preaches without preaching.

When you jump for joy, beware that no one moves the ground from beneath your feet.

Joy and sorrow are inseparable ... together they come and when one sits alone with you ... remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.

I cannot believe that the inscrutable universe turns on an axis of suffering; surely the strange beauty of the world must somewhere rest on pure joy.

It is strange what a contempt men have for the joys that are offered them freely.

This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.

Then there's the joy of getting your desk clean, and knowing that all your letters are answered, and you can see the wood on it again.

I find my joy of living in the fierce and ruthless battles of life, and my pleasure comes from learning something.

Discover that we are capable of solitary joy and having experienced it, know that we have touched the core of self.

Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of a joy you must have somebody to divide it with.
