Joy

Love is the joy of the good, the wonder of the wise, the amazement of the Gods

Friendship improves happiness, and abates misery, by doubling our joys, and dividing our grief

You say you have thousands of my days; but I have thousands of moments, in which I can be merry and happy

The trouble with life is that there are so many beautiful women and so little time

To find joy in work is to discover the fountain of youth

Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.

Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think

You must submit to supreme suffering in order to discover the completion of joy

Life has a higher end, than to be amused

All my life through, the new sights of nature made me rejoice like a child

Joy and temperance and repose - slam the door on the doctor's nose

I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.

Marrying for love may be a bit risky, but it is so honest that God can't help but smile on it

Everything human is pathetic. The secret source of humor itself is not joy but sorrow. There is no humor in heaven.

A witty saying proves nothing

And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles in your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy.

It is necessary to work, if not from inclination, at least from despair. Everything considered, work is less boring than amusing oneself

The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one has to do

Excessive sorrow laughs. Excessive joy weeps

To serve is beautiful, but only if it is done with joy and a whole heart and a free mind
