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

David Steindl-Rast

“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

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

Jonathan Lockwood Huie

“I define joy as a sustained sense of well-being and internal peace—a connection to what matters.”

Oprah Winfrey

“When you are joyful, when you say yes to life and have fun and project positivity all around you, you become a sun in the center of every constellation, and people want to be near you.”

Shannon L. Alder

“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.

“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

“Comparison is the thief of joy.”

Theodore Roosevelt

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

Marianne Williamson

“We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy.”

Joseph Campbell

“Balance, peace, and joy are the fruit of a successful life. It starts with recognizing your talents and finding ways to serve others by using them. ”

Thomas Kinkade

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

Tim Cook

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