JOY (HAPPINESS)
• Joy is the holy fire that keeps our purpose warm and our intelligence aglow. — Helen Keller
• Find ecstasy in life: the mere sense of living is joy enough. —Emily Dickinson
• Where there is love, there is joy. — Mother Teresa
• The way to find out about your happiness is to keep your mind on those moments when you feel most happy, when you really are happy—not excited, not just thrilled, but deeply happy. This requires a little bit of self-analysis. What is it that makes you happy? Stay with it, no matter what people tell you. This is what I call following your bliss. —Joseph Campbell
• It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look. To affect the quality of the day—that is the highest of arts. — Thoreau
• The healthiest response to life is joy. — Mark Twain
• Joy— the kind of happiness that doesn’t depend on what happens. — David Steindl-Rast
• We can choose to live in joy. — Joseph Campbell
• The sun does not shine for a few trees and flowers, but for the wide world’s joy. — Henry Ward Beecher
