The soul is love, joy. Joy. Peace. Wisdom.
The poet's expression of joy conceals his despair at not having found the reality of joy.
All the joys of earth will not assuage our thirst for happiness; while a single grief suffices to shroud life in a sombre veil, and smite it with nothingness at all points.
Joys too exquisite to last, And yet more exquisite when past.
Joy takes away from us the thoughts of our actions; sorrow it is that awakens the soul.
Can't you tell when you're with someone who's listening? She hears you, really hears you. He hears the sadness in your tone or catches your joy. Be a listener, to music, to life, to others, to God. Life is noisy, but there is music in every heartbeat. God is waiting to bring joy and peace to the confusion of our days.
Happiness is never a negative affair; it is to be won by men who are fully alive, full of the joy of living
I have mental joys and mental health, Mental friends and mental wealth, I've a wife that I love and that loves me; I've all but riches bodily.
Music expresses first of all sadness rather than joy.
Life, when fully lived under a variety of cultural conditions, can be euphoric and optimistic; it can be a joy to experience and a wonder to behold.
Joy is realized as the natural by-product of the passionate pursuit of something other than happiness.
Doing a route at the absolute limit of the possible demands and encourages a coordination of all peripheral factors. It is, at the same time, a sign of joy and contentment with that moment, perhaps even a mirror of the equlibrium in your inner spirit, a mirror of a liberated state of mind.
Happiness is temporary and fleeting. . . . Joy is the right goal.
The joy of seeing Yuri Gagarin flying in space is only superseded by the joy of a good penalty save.
I really don't see the point of making music if you don't love it, and I'm lucky enough to say I love my music, and love the things I've made over the last couple of years and they bring me so much joy.
I think those who choose to find joy in serving others, those who choose to find their voice, to pursue their vocation and to act on their vision oftentimes have to sacrifice much. It's almost like a crucifixion in terms of the cross you have to bear.
There is a joy in sorrow which none but a mourner can know.
I love the sound of the distant bugle call in the countryside in early morning I love to be pushed in busy crowds I love the sound of gongs and trumpets along the streets I love circus performances I even wish to die in this moment of glorious encounter.
The fiery force is nothing more than the life force as we know it. It is the flame of desire and love, of sex and beauty, of pleasure and joy as we consume and are consumed, as we burn with pleasure and burn out in time.
Exercise for the joy of feeling good and getting better. Eat right with the intention of fueling your body with the things it needs to perform.
