JOY QUOTATIONS
“Joy is increased by spreading it to others.”

Robert Murray M'Cheyne

“Joy blooms where minds and hearts are open.”

Jonathan Lockwood Huie

“A joy shared is a joy doubled.”

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“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

“Just follow your joy. Always. I think that if you do that, life will take you on the course that it’s meant to take you.”

Jonathan Groff

“The joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives.”

Russell M. Nelson

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

Joseph Campbell

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

Jalal ad-Din Rumi

“Joy is a decision, a really brave one, about how you are going to respond to life.”

Wess Stafford

“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

“…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

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

Oprah Winfrey

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