We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.
Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears.
The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.
Find ecstasy in life; the mere sense of living is joy enough.
Joy is the serious business of Heaven.
There is no joy in possession without sharing.
The most beautiful thing in the world is a child's smile. The next best thing? Knowing that you are the reason behind it.
The joy that you give to others is the joy that comes back to you.
The pleasure which we most rarely experience gives us the greatest delight.
The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keeps out the joy.
The root of joy is gratefulness.
There is no joy in living your whole life on the ground.
Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.
The most important thing is to enjoy your life—to be happy—it's all that matters.
Joy is not in things; it is in us.
Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.
Joy is a decision, a really brave one, about how you are going to respond to life.
