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
Image
If we understood the power of our thoughts, we would guard them more closely. If we understood the awesome power of our words, we would prefer silence to almost anything negative. In our thoughts and words we create our own weaknesses and our own strengths. Our limitations and joys begin in our hearts. We can always replace negative with positive.

Our home joys are the most delightful earth affords, and the joy of parents in their children is the most holy joy of humanity.
Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi
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
To be truly Catholic is not merely to be correct according to an abstractly universal standard of truth, but also and above all to be able to enter into the problems and the joys of all, to understand all, to be all things to all.
Thomas Merton
Image
I hate everything that does not relate to literature, conversations bore me (even if they relate to literature), to visit people bores me, the sorrows and joys of my relatives bore me to the very soul. Conversation takes the importance, the seriousness, the truth, out of everything I think.
Franz Kafka
Image
We sacrifice to dress till household joys and comforts cease. Dress drains our cellar dry, and keeps our larder lean.
William Cowper
Image
The present joys of life we doubly taste, By looking back with pleasure to the past.
Martial

Love cannot exist in peace, it will always come accompanied by agonies, ecstasies, intense joys and profound sadnesses.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Food is one of life's greatest joys yet we've reached this really sad point where we're turning food into the enemy, and something to be afraid of
Jamie Oliver
Image
Nothing opens the heart like a true friend, to whom you may impart griefs, joys, fears, hopes...and whatever lies upon the heart.
Francis Bacon
Image
Our sadness is not sad, but our cheap joys.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
Never become too busy for your brother or your sister. For when your parents die, it is your hearts alone that will realize how the joys and pains of family have shaped your lives.
Laura Ramirez
Image
The joys of the evil flow away like a torrent.
Jean Racine
Image
Every delay that postpones our joys, is long. [Lat., Longa mora est nobis omnis, quae gaudia differt.]
Ovid
Image
My principle anguish and the source of all my joys and sorrows from my youth onward has been the incessant, merciless battle between the spirit and the flesh.
Nikos Kazantzakis
Image
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
Image
Sorrows when shared are less burdensome, though joys divided are increased.
Bill Vaughan
Image
Knowledge of the Enlightenment Cycle, of the ways that inner dimensions and nirvana work, lifts you far above the transient sorrows, pains, pleasures and joys that the unenlightened masses experience.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Seek to be made holier every day pray, strive, wrestle for the spirit, to make you like God. Be as much you can with God. I declare to you that I had rather be one hour with God than a thousand with the sweetest society on earth or in Heaven. All other joys are but streams God is the fountain.
Robert Murray M'Cheyne
Image
How many joys are crushed under foot because people look up at the sky and disregard what is at their feet?
Katharina Elisabeth Goethe
Image
We reveal our joys and successes, we conceal our pain.
