Joy

Famous quotes containing the word joy:

“Cling with life to the maid;
But when the surprise,
First vague shadow of surmise
Flits across her bosom young,
Of a joy apart from thee,
Free be she, fancy-free;
Nor thou detain her vesture’s hem,
Nor the palest rose she flung
From her summer diadem.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“To make an apt answer is a joy to anyone, and a word in season, how good it is!”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 15:23.

“How much better is it to weep at joy than to joy at weeping!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
