Joys do not fall to the rich alone nor has he lived ill of whose birth and death no one took note.
Horace
Image
Joys and sorrows are time-born and cannot last. Therefore, do not be perturbed by these. The greater the difficulties and obstructions, the more intense will be your endeavor to cling to His feet and the more will your prayer increase from within. And when the time is ripe, you will gain mastery over this power.
Anandamayi Ma
Image
Joys too exquisite to last, And yet more exquisite when past.
James Montgomery
Image
Joys impregnate. Sorrows bring forth.
William Blake
Image
Joys, which we do not know, we do not wish.
Aaron Hill
Image
Joys as winged dreams fly fast, / Why should sadness longer last? / Grief is but a wound to woe / Gentlest fair, mourn, mourn no moe.
John Fletcher
Image
Of joys departed, not to return, how painful the remembrance
Robert Blair
Image
Mothers are doing a better job talking about risk, danger, reproduction, consent, unwanted pregnancy. We're not talking about how to balance the risks and joys and we're really not talking about the joys.
Peggy Orenstein

Comedy is lively, comedy is joy, and that's what keeps us [people] going, we've got to look forward to little, little happiness's. Little, little joys, and comedy is very, very important, it's a vital. We underestimate its value, but we should see more comedies. Comedy is life giving, it's invigorating. I really believe it.
Mel Brooks

I do believe that one way to bring cultures together, to develop trust between people and countries and religions, is through education. And through music and art and basketball and activities and joys that people share worldwide, regardless of ethnic background or religious orientation.
Steve Kerr
Image
Have you found your life distasteful? My life did, and does, smack sweet. Was your youth of pleasure wasteful? Mine I saved and hold complete. Do your joys with age diminish? When mine fail me, I'll complain. Must in death your daylight finish? My sun sets to rise again.
Robert Browning
Image
But what right had I to these highest joys, when all around me was nothing but misery and struggle for a moldy bit of bread when whatsoever I should spend to enable me to live in that world of higher emotions must needs be taken from the very mouths of those who grew the wheat and had not bread enough for their children?
Peter Kropotkin
Image
Now spring returns but not to me returns The vernal joy my better years have known Dim in my breast life's dying taper burns, And all the joys of life with health have flown.
Michael Bruce
Image
In my more lucid moments I know that God is right here, right now that God is the luminous mystery at the heart of creation and that God is here in the joys and sorrows of the world. And I try to see God in everything and treat all life with reverence.
Sy Safransky
Image
Then welcome each rebuff That turns earth's smoothness rough, Each sting that bids nor sit nor stand, but go! Be our joys three-parts pain! Strive, and hold cheap the strain Learn, nor account the pang dare, never grudge the throe!
Robert Browning
Image
And these are joys, like beauty, but skin deep.
Philip James Bailey
Image
Finding out that something you have just discovered is considered all but impossible is one of the joys of science.
Mike Brown
Image
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
Image
If we do not do this our churches will lighthouses without light, wells without water, dumb witnesses, sleeping watchmen, silent trumpets, messengers without tidings, a comfort for infidels, jubilant joys to the devil, and an offense to God.
Robert E. Lee
Image
Who bathes in worldly joys, swims in a world of fears.
Phineas Fletcher
Image
I used to be a classic workaholic, and after seeing how little work and career really mean when you reach the end of your life, I put a new emphasis on things I believe count more. These things include: family, friends, being part of a community, and appreciating the little joys of the average day.
Mitch Albom
Image
Life brings sorrows and joys alike. It is what a man does with them - not what they do to him - that is the true test of his mettle.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Fear is the strong passion it is with fear that you must trifle, if you wish to taste the intensest joys of living.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Image
For lawless joys a bitter ending waits.
Pindar
