"Joyfulness keeps the heart and face young. A good laugh makes us better friends with ourselves and everybody around us"

"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."

Making an effort is polite, and getting ready and looking after yourself makes an event more fun.

Without friends the world is but a wilderness. There is no man that imparteth his joys to his friends, but he joyeth the more; and no man that imparteth his grieves to his friend, but he grieveth the less.

I joy, that in these straits I see my west;

“Real joy seems to me almost as unlike security or prosperity as it is unlike agony.”

“I sometimes wonder whether all pleasures are not substitutes for joy.”

“Joy is the serious business of Heaven.”

“For those who are poor in happiness, each time is a first time; happiness never becomes a habit.”

“Always remember to smile and look up at what you got in life.”

“Keep smiling, because life is a beautiful thing and there’s so much to smile about.”

“Behind every sweet smile, there is a bitter sadness that no one can see and feel.”

If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the precipitate.

“Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times.” 

“In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider.”

So I saw that there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work, because that is their lot. For who can bring them to see what will happen after them?

“Finally an evangelizing community is filled with joy; it knows how to rejoice always.” 

“I enjoy smaller projects, especially by newcomers, where there is more energy than on bigger productions. And there’s the pleasure of seeing the final result.”

If you’re smart, you should be able to figure out how to be happy. Otherwise, you’re not that smart.

Looking forward to holidays takes the joy out of everyday.

Stupidity assumes two forms, it speaks or is silent. Mute stupidity is bearable.

Joy and suffering are the fruit of right and wrong thinking. Suffering, especially, is mostly self-manufactured; we are never so happy or so unhappy as we suppose.

“Wisdom is doing now what you are going to be happy with later on” 

“Happiness is not a feeling, it is a choice. To be happy, one must choose to be happy, not respond to a circumstance that now controls your happiness.”
