Joy

Famous quotes containing the word joy:

“Though it is possible to utter words only with the intention to fulfill the will of God, it is very difficult not to think about the impression which they will produce on men and not to form them accordingly. But deeds you can do quite unknown to men, only for God. And such deeds are the greatest joy that a man can experience.”
—Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910)

“Silence and passion, joy and peace,
An everlasting wash of air—
Rome’s ghost since her
decease.”
