JOY QUOTATIONS
“My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person: he believed in me.”

Jimmy Valvano

“We find greatest joy, not in getting, but in expressing what we are. Men do not really live for honors or for pay; their gladness is not the taking and holding, but in doing, the striving, the building, the living. It is a higher joy to teach than to be taught. It is good to get justice, but better to do it; fun to have things but more to make them. The happy man is he who lives the life of love, not for the honors it may bring, but for the life itself.”

R.J. Baughan

“I’m beginning to recognize that real happiness isn’t something large and looming on the horizon ahead, but something small, numerous and already here. The smile of someone you love. A decent breakfast. The warm sunset. Your little everyday joys all lined up in a row.”

Beau Christopher Taplin

“Let your joy be in your journey—not in some distant goal.”

Tim Cook

“…find out where joy resides, and give it a voice far beyond singing. For to miss the joy is to miss all.”

Robert Louis Stevenson

“When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.”

Jalal ad-Din Rumi

“Watch the sunrise at least once a year, put a lot of marshmallows in your hot chocolate, lie on your back and look at the stars, never buy a coffee table you can't put your feet on, never pass up a chance to jump on a trampoline, don't overlook life's small joys while searching for the big ones.”

H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

“Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.”

Marianne Williamson

“Joy is the holy fire that keeps our purpose warm and our intelligence aglow.”

Helen Keller

“Joy is the kind of happiness that doesn’t depend on what happens.”

David Steindl-Rast

“The essence of life is not in the great victories and grand failures, but in the simple joys.”

Jonathan Lockwood Huie

“We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.”

Buddha

Please add gentleness to your list of values. Too often this incredible virtue is overlooked and needs to be revived.
