Joy

Famous quotes containing the word joy:

    Work is an essential part of being alive. Your work is your identity. It tells you who you are. It’s gotten so abstract. People don’t work for the sake of working. They’re working for a car, a new house, or a vacation. It’s not the work itself that’s important to them. There’s such a joy in doing work well.
    Kay Stepkin, U.S. baker. As quoted in Working, book 8, by Studs Terkel (1973)

    Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 25:21.

    The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which someone found and hid; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 13:44.
