#joy

He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.

Do not seek for things to happen the way you want them to; rather, wish that what happens happens the way it happens: then you will be happy.

Looking away shall be my only negation. And all in all and on the whole: some day I wish to be only a Yes-sayer.

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

The mother of excess is not joy, but joylessness.

If you cannot enjoy the present moment, you can never enjoy anything at all. For there is never any time at which you can live except the present.

Hospitals should be arranged like night clubs: places where people go to celebrate life and heal with joy, rather than grim temples of fear.

If you make love with the idea that you are performing an exercise, you spoil it. Love must be an overflow of joy.

Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.

Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.

Shared joys are doubled, while shared griefs are halved.

I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.

Despondency is not religion, whatever else it may be. Cheerfulness is the first step toward God.

Even the greatest fool can accomplish a task if it were after his or her heart. But the intelligent one is he who can turn every task into his heart's delight.

The real joy is in the journey of discovering your own infinite depth.

The disciplined mind is the fountain of joy.

Service which is rendered without joy helps neither the servant nor the served.

When you are happy with who you are, the world becomes a friend.

Joy is the realization of the truth of oneness.

The soul sings when it forgets its separate vanity.

Joy comes when you do not seek it.

The eternal present is the home of joy.

Live in joy, in love, even among those who hate.

Set your heart on doing good. Do it over and over again, and you will be filled with joy.

A pure heart brings endless joy.

Walk the righteous path with joy and steady calm.

Walk forward with mindfulness, and joy will follow.

Where there is no ego, there is boundless joy.

Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts.

Do not take life too seriously; remember that it is a cosmic play.
