Best Quotes about Joy
Don't set compensation as a goal. Find work you like, and the compensation will follow.
Lawrence, Harding
I know the joy of fishes in the river through my own joy, as I go walking along the same river.
Chuang Tzu
I have no greater joy then to hear that my children walk in truth. [John 4]
Bible
With coarse rice to eat, with water to drink, and my bent arm for a pillow -- I have still joy in the midst of all these things.
Confucius
To really enjoy the better things in life, one must first have experienced the things they are better than.
Homoka, Oscar
You will never succeed while smarting under the drudgery of your occupation, if you are constantly haunted with the idea that you could succeed better in something else.
Marden, Orison Swett
There is an alchemy in sorrow. It can be transmuted into wisdom, which, if it does not bring joy, can yet bring happiness.
Pearl Buck
It is essential to our well-being, and to our lives, that we play and enjoy life. Every single day do something that makes your heart sing.
Marcia, Wieder
Nothing is interesting if you are not interested.
Macinness, Helen
I'm a firm believer that in the theory that people only do their best at things they truly enjoy. It is difficult to excel at something you don't enjoy.
Nicklaus, Jack
Temper your enjoyments with prudence, lest there be written on your heart that fearful word satiety.
Quarles, Francis
Learning to live in the present moment is part of the path of joy.
Sarah Ban Breathnach
He who binds to himself a joy doth the winged life destroy. But he who kisses the joy as it flies lives in Eternity's sunrise.
Blake, William
For one mother, joy is the quiet pleasure found in gently rubbing shampoo into her young child's hair. For another woman it's taking a long walk alone, while for yet another it's reviling in a much -- anticipated vacation.
Stukane, Eileen
Joy is not in things; it is in us.
Richard Wagner
The only joy in the world is to begin.
Cesare Pavese
Give not over thy soul to sorrow; and afflict not thyself in thy own counsel. Gladness of heart is the life of man and the joyfulness of man is length of days.
Ecclesiastes
What we call creative work, ought not to be called work at all, because it isn't. I imagine that Thomas Edison never did a day's work in his last fifty years.
Leacock, Stephen B.
Everyone enjoys doing the kind of work for which he is best suited.
Hill, Napoleon
No man is a success in business unless he loves his work.
Shinn, Florence Scovel
Oh the wild joys of living! The leaping from rock to rock ... the cool silver shock of the plunge in a pool's living waters.
Browning, Robert
Joy, has no cost.
Williamson, Marianne
Joy is prayer - Joy is strength - Joy is love - Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.
Mother Teresa
In this world, full often, our joys are only the tender shadows which our sorrows cast.
Beecher, Henry Ward
I sometimes wander whether all pleasures are not substitutes for joy.
Lewis, C. S.
Doing is the great thing, for if people resolutely do what is right, they come in time to like doing it.
Ruskin, John
If your capacity to acquire has outstripped your capacity to enjoy, you are on the way to the scrap-heap.
Buck, Glen
Joys are our wings, sorrows our spurs.
Paul, Jean
If you don't like what you're doing, then don't do it.
Bradbury, Ray
Joy is the feeling of grinning on the inside.
Colgrove, Dr. Melba
Joy is free, unrestrained passion
Stukane, Eileen
Joy is not in things, it is in us.
Wagner, Richard
Like what you do, if you don't like it, do something else.
Harvey, Paul
Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls. A joyful heart is the inevitable result of a heart burning with love
Mother Teresa
Don't complain because you don't have. Enjoy what you've got.
Judd, H. Stanley
Fill your life with as many moments and experiences of joy and passion as you humanly can. Start with one experience and build on it.
Marcia, Wieder
My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just enjoy your ice cream while it's on your plate -- that's my philosophy.
Wilder, Thornton
I feel sorry for the person who can't get genuinely excited about his work. Not only will he never be satisfied, but he will never achieve anything worthwhile.
Chrysler, Walter
Tranquil pleasures last the longest; we are not fitted to bear the burden of great joys.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
Listen to the cry of a woman in labor at the hour of giving birth --look at the dying man's struggle at his last extremity, and then tell me whether something that begins and ends thus could be intended for enjoyment.
Kierkegaard, SĀ°ren
The first essential in a boy's career is to find out what he's fitted for, what he's most capable of doing and doing with a relish.
Schwab, Charles M.
The joy of a spirit is the measure of its power.
Ninon de Lenclos
A leaf fluttered in through the window this morning, as if supported by the rays of the sun, a bird settled on the fire escape, joy in the task of coffee, joy accompanied me as I walked
Nin, Anais
The man who has no money is poor, but one who has nothing but money is poorer. He only is rich who can enjoy without owning; he is poor who though he has millions is covetous.
Marden, Orison Swett
The most profound joy has more of gravity than of gaiety in it.
Michel de Montaigne
Enjoy what thou has inherited from thy sires if thou wouldn't really possess it. What we employ and use is never an oppressive burden; what the moment brings forth, that only can it profit by.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
The surest mark of a Christian is not faith, or even love, but joy.
Shoemaker, Samuel M.
Things won are done; joy's soul lies in the doing.
William Shakespeare
Be absolutely determined to enjoy what you do.
Sikorski, Gerry
The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keeps out the joy.
Rohn, Jim
