Nature delights in progress in advance.
Edward Young

... God cometh sometimes unto the soul when it hath neither called, nor prayed unto, nor summoned Him. And He doth instil into the soul a fire and a love and a sweetness not customary, wherein it doth greatly delight and rejoice ... Thus doth the soul feel that God is mingled with it and hath made companionship with it.
Angela of Foligno
Image
We find delight in the beauty and happiness of children that makes the heart too big for the body.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

To work - to work! It is such infinite delight to know that we still have the best things to do.
Katherine Mansfield
Image
Delight is the secret. Learn of pure delight and thou shalt learn of God.
Sri Aurobindo

Only the soul that with an overwhelming impulse and a perfect trust gives itself up forever to the life of other men, finds the delight and peace which such complete self-surrender has to give.
Phillips Brooks
Image
Hear the mellow wedding bells, Golden bells! What a world of happiness their harmony foretells Through the balmy air of night How they ring out their delight! From the molten golden notes, And all in tune What a liquid ditty floats To the turtle-dove that listens while she gloats On the moon!
Edgar Allan Poe

Alice Walker
Image
Indeed, we may go further and assert that anyone who does not delight in fine actions is not even a good man.
Aristotle
Image
The history of the cosmos is the history of the struggle of becoming. When the dim flux of unformed life struggled, convulsed back and forth upon itself, and broke at last into light and dark came into existence as light, came into existence as cold shadow then every atom of the cosmos trembled with delight.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
I teach the art of turning anguish into delight.
Georges Bataille

Every object, every being...is a jar full of delight.
Rumi

Instead of working so hard to prove the skeptics wrong, it makes a lot more sense to delight the true believers. They deserve it, after all, and they're the ones that are going to spread the word for you.
Seth Godin
Image
Since women do most delight in revenge, it may seem but feminine manhood to be vindictive.
Thomas Browne
Image
A verse may find him, who a sermon flies, And turn delight into a sacrifice.
George Herbert
Image
When you delight yourself in the Lord, His Word and His ways become the focus and foundation of your life.
Elizabeth George
Image
I have often seen quite demented patients recognize and respond vividly to paintings and delight in the act of painting at a time when they are scarcely responsive, disoriented, and out of it.
Oliver Sacks
Image
Vital lives are about action. You can't feel warmth unless you create it, can't feel delight until you play, can't know serendipity unless you risk.
Joan Erikson
Image
The effort to lift one's self into perfect enlightenment is a profound thing. It has nothing to do with individual will. It's a refraction of the cosmos. The cosmos delights in itself.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We’re beings toward death, we’re … two-legged, linguistically-conscious creatures born between urine and feces whose body will one day be the culinary delight of terrestrial worms.
Cornel West
