The American civil space program is growing to maturity. It has passed through the joys and crises of precocious childhood and now is being called upon to do grown-up things, like earn a living and establish permanent roots in space.
John Noble Wilford
Image
Bliss in possession will not last Remembered joys are never past.
James Montgomery
Image
Nothing I've ever done has given me more joys and rewards than being a father to my children.
Bill Cosby
Image
If you really want to seriously think about life, and therefore take painting very seriously... and take seriously the joys that it can bring to one, then you want to go to museums. You want to study the great of the past.
Nelson Shanks
Image
Troubles loom up big when they're ahead, And joys seem always sweeter when they're past.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
To hear the Treorchy Male Choir in full throat is one of the great joys of choral music.
Melvyn Bragg
Image
I think that pain gives us appreciation of joy - it's a package deal. And I definitely think that the joys of life far outweigh the pain.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Watch the sunrise at least once a year, put a lot of marshmallows in your hot chocolate, lie on your back and look at the stars, never buy a coffee table you can't put your feet on, never pass up a chance to jump on a trampoline, don't overlook life's small joys while searching for the big ones.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
Image
[T]o love a specific person, and to identify with his or her struggles and joys as if they were your own, you have to surrender some of your self.
Jonathan Franzen
Image
Unicorns, dragons, witches may be creatures conjured up in dreams, but on the page their needs, joys, anguishes, and redemptions should be just as true as those of Madame Bovary or Martin Chuzzlewit.
Alberto Manguel
Image
Past dreams of bliss our lives contain, And slight the chords that still retain A heart estranged to joys again, To scenes by memory's silver chain Close-linked, and ever yet apart, That like the vine, whose tendrils young Around some fostering branch have clung, Grown with its growth, as tho' it sprung From one united heart.
Alan Cooper
Image
There are worlds beyond anything you can imagine there are joys beyond anything you have experienced. There are ecstasies that are undreamed of, I assure you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We praise Thee, Lord, of all the earth, for love and joy, for light and mirth, for every charm of sense and right, and blessings boundless as Thy might.... But most we praise the love that gave thine own dear Son to seek and save, for joy all other joys excelling, for purest light and life indwelling.
Cecil Frances Alexander
Image
This, this indeed is to be accursed, For if we mortals love, or if we sing, We count our joys not by what we have, But by what kept us from that perfect thing.
Paul Laurence Dunbar
Image
I made a tentative conclusion. It seemed from all of this that uppermost among human joys is the negative one of restoration: not going to the stars, but learning that one may stay where one is.
Peter De Vries
Image
Here's hoping that your special day Will be more 'happy ever after' With all the joys of friendship, Love, fun and laughter
John Walter Bratton
Image
Alas! the joys that fortune brings Are trifling, and decay, And those who prize the trifling things, More trifling still than they.
Oliver Goldsmith
Image
The pleasures arising from a right understanding of the divine testimonies are of the most delightful order earthly enjoyments are utterly contemptible if compared with them. The sweetest joys, yea, the sweetest of the sweetest falls to his portion who has God's truth to be his heritage.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The greater part of human activity is designed to make permanent those experiences and joys which are only lovable because they are changing.
Alan Watts
Image
While we are born with curiosity and wonder and our early years full of the adventure they bring, I know such inherent joys are often lost. I also know that, being deep within us, their latent glow can be fanned to flame again by awareness and an open mind.
Sigurd F. Olson
Image
It's my chance to challenge myself to the fullest, which is one of the great joys about my job... I love it when a character requires me to look less than my red-carpet best. It's more fun playing a character that requires you to look like dog s - t.
Kate Winslet
Image
It makes a great difference in our feeling towards others if their needs and their joys are on our lips in prayer as also it makes a vast difference in their feelings towards us if they know that we are in the habit of praying for them.
Charles Brent
Image
One of the joys of being in love is that it clarifies your priorities. Complication arises from not knowing what you want.
Philip Sington
Image
It struck me as I listened to those two men that a truer nomination (name) for our species than Homo sapiens might be Homo narrans, the storytelling person. What differentiates us from animals is the fact that we can listen to other people’s dreams, fears, joys, sorrows, desires and defeats–and they in turn can listen to ours.
Henning Mankell
