“Experience was of no ethical value. It was merely the name men gave to their mistakes. Moralists had, as a rule, regarded it as a mode of warning, had claimed for it a certain ethical efficacy in the formation of character, had praised it as something that taught us what to follow and showed us what to avoid. But there was no motive power in experience. It was as little of an active cause as conscience itself. All that it really demonstrated was that our future would be the same as our past, and that the sin we had done once, and with loathing, we would do many times, and with joy.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“Perhaps in nearly every joy, as certainly in every pleasure, cruelty has its place.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“There were sins whose fascination was more in the memory than in the doing of them, strange triumphs that gratified the pride more than the passions, and gave to the intellect a quickened sense of joy, greater than any joy they brought, or could ever bring, to the senses.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
The more in harmony with yourself you are, the more joyful you are and the more faithful you are. Faith is not to disconnect you from reality - it connects you to reality.
Quote by -Paulo Coelho
“Joy is sometimes a blessing, but it is often a conquest. Our magic moment help us to change and sends us off in search of our dreams. Yes, we are going to suffer, we will have difficult times, and we will experience many disappointments — but all of this is transitory it leaves no permanent mark. And one day we will look back with pride and faith at the journey we have taken.”
Quote by -Paulo Coelho
Joy and suffering are the fruit of right and wrong thinking. Suffering, especially, is mostly self-manufactured; we are never so happy or so unhappy as we suppose.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
“I enjoy smaller projects, especially by newcomers, where there is more energy than on bigger productions. And there’s the pleasure of seeing the final result.”
Quote by -Ulrich Thomsen
“Finally an evangelizing community is filled with joy; it knows how to rejoice always.”
Quote by -Pope Francis
“Real joy seems to me almost as unlike security or prosperity as it is unlike agony.”
Quote by -C.S. Lewis
Without friends the world is but a wilderness. There is no man that imparteth his joys to his friends, but he joyeth the more; and no man that imparteth his grieves to his friend, but he grieveth the less.
Quote by -Francis Bacon
"Joy increases as you give it, and diminishes as you try to keep it for yourself. In giving it, you will accumulate a deposit of joy greater than you ever believed possible."
Quote by -Norman Vincent Peale
"Joyfulness keeps the heart and face young. A good laugh makes us better friends with ourselves and everybody around us"
Quote by -Orison Swett Marden
"Joy is of the will which labours, which overcomes obstacles, which knows triumph."
Quote by -William Butler Yeats
"Remember all ye that existence is pure joy; that all the sorrows are but as shadows; they pass & are done; but there is that which remains."
Quote by -Aleister Crowley
"For when all is equilibrated, when all is beheld from without all, there is joy, joy, joy that is but one facet of a diamond, every other facet whereof is more joyful than joy itself."
Quote by -Aleister Crowley
"Joy descends gently upon us like the evening dew, and does not patter down like a hailstorm."
Quote by -Jean Richter
"Only by joy and sorrow does a person know anything about themselves and their destiny. They learn what to do and what to avoid."
Quote by -Johann Von Goethe
"The joy of learning is as indispensable in study as breathing is in running. Where it is lacking there are no real students, but only poor caricatures of apprentices who, at the end of their apprenticeship, will not even have a trade."
Quote by -Simone Weil
"A test of what is real is that it is hard and rough. Joys are found in it, not pleasure. What is pleasant belongs to dreams."
Quote by -Simone Weil
"To want friendship is a great fault. Friendship ought to be a gratuitous joy, like the joys afforded by art or life."
Quote by -Simone Weil
"The joy of life is variety; the tenderest love requires to be rekindled by intervals of absence"
Quote by -Samuel Johnson
"The joy in life is to be used for a purpose. I want to be used up when I die."
Quote by -George Bernard Shaw
"You will know your vocation by the joy that it brings you. You will know. You will know when it's right."
Quote by -Dorothy Day
"What we would like to do is change the world - make it a little simpler for people to feed, clothe, and shelter themselves as God intended for them to do....We can, to a certain extent, change the world; we can work for the oasis, the little cell of joy and peace in a harried world. We can throw our pebble in the pond and be confident that its ever widening circle will reach around the world. We repeat, there is nothing that we can do but love, and, dear God, please enlarge our hearts to love each other, to love our neighbor, to love our enemy as well as our friend."
Quote by -Dorothy Day
"How necessary it is to cultivate a spirit of joy. It is a psychological truth that the physical acts of reverence and devotion make one feel devout. The courteous gesture increases one's respect for others. To act lovingly is to begin to feel loving, and certainly to act joyfully brings joy to others which in turn makes one feel joyful. I believe we are called to the duty of delight."
Quote by -Dorothy Day
"The joy which answers to prayer give, cannot be described; and the impetus which they afford to the spiritual life is exceedingly great."
Quote by -George Muller
"A propensity to hope and joy is real riches; one to fear and sorrow real poverty"
Quote by -David Hume
"Yes, probably right (more relief than joy after you have avoided an embarrassing defeat). It was a very good Test match win."
Quote by -Ricky Ponting
"The joy that we cause in the heart of GOD is the only worthwhile achievement."
Quote by -Sathya Baba
"A virtuous character is the lamp which illumines the path to peace and joy."
Quote by -Sathya Baba
"I have drunken deep of joy, And I will taste no other wine tonight"
Quote by -Percy Bysshe Shelley
"The sobs and tears of joy he had not foreseen rose with such force within him that his whole body shook and for a long time prevented him from speaking. Falling on his knees by her bed. He held his wife's hand to his lips and kissed it, and her hand responded to his kisses with weak movement of finger. Meanwhile, at the foot of the bed, in the midwife's expert hands, like the flame of a lamp, flickered the life of a human being who had never existed before..."
Quote by -Leo Tolstoy
