Joy
Proverbs 17:22
A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
By Lamb:
You may extract honey from everything, do not go a gathering after gall.
By Dora Greenwell:
How can that ever be comfort which has not first been a joy?
By Barbour:
Wherever love has been, there joy will surely be. Do the act the felling will come. Love anything, anyone, and joy will follow. You never loved, but it brought you happiness. The happiest hour in your life is the hour when you loved most.
By Wordsworth:
And it’s my faith that every flower enjoys the air it breathes.
By Paget:
We should be as happy as possible, and our happiness should last as long as possible; for those who can finally issue from self by the portal of happiness know infinitely wider freedom than those who pass through the gate of sadness. The joy of the Lord, the joy that is strength, the joy that no man taketh from us, the joy wherewith we joy before God, the abundant joy of faith and hope, and love and praise, this it is that gathers like a radiant, fostering, cheering air around the soul that yields itself to the grace of God, to do His holy, loving Will.
