Joy comes from using our potential. Will Schultz

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. Norman Vincent Peale

Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls. A joyful heart is the inevitable result of a heart burning with love. Mother Teresa

Joy is but the sign that creative emotion is fulfilling its purpose. Charles Du Bois

Joy is for all men. It does not depend on circumstance or condition; if it did, it could only be for the few. It is not the fruit of good luck, or of fortune, or even of outward success, which all men cannot have. It is of the soul, or the soul’s character; it is the wealth of the soul’s whole being when it is filled with the spirit of Jesus, which is the spirit of eternal love. Horace Bushnell

Joy is free, unrestrained passion. Eileen Stukane

Joy is prayer, joy is strength, joy is love, joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls. Mother Teresa

Joy is the echo of God’s life within us. Joseph Marmion

Joy is the feeling of grinning on the inside. Dr. Melba Colgrove

Joy is warm and radiant and clamours for expressions and experience. Dorothy Segovia

Joy runs deeper than despair. Corrie Ten Boom

Joy, rather than happiness, is the goal of life, for joy is the emotion which accompanies our fulfilling our natures as human beings. It is based on the experience of one's identity as a being of worth and dignity. Rollo May

Joys are our wings, sorrows our spurs. Jean Paul Richter

Joys come from simple and natural things: mists overs meadows, sunlight

on leaves, the path of the moon over water. Sigurd F. Olson
