The joy of life consists in the exercise of one's energies, continual growth, constant change, the enjoyment of every new experience. To stop means simply to die. The eternal mistake of mankind is to set up an attainable ideal.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Joy, rather than happiness, is the goal of life, for joy is the emotion which accompanies our fulfilling our natures as human beings. It is based on the experience of one's identity as a being of worth and dignity.
People are constantly clamoring for the joy of life. As for me, I find the joy of life in the hard and cruel battle of life - to learn something is a joy to me.
Joy of living is sustainable; fear of dying is not.
The joy of life is in the work.
There is no greater joy than that of feeling oneself a creator. The triumph of life is expressed by creation.
No matter what is happening in life or in the world - war, natural disaster, poor health, pain, the death of loved ones - if existence is filled with art, music and literature, life will be fulfilling, a joy.
The finite play for life is serious; the infinite play of life is joyous.
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
Death is the great hope of all life; the desire to expend itself; to be used and consumed by its own longing for itself.
Life is a progress from want to want, not from enjoyment to enjoyment.
