Those who prepared for all the emergencies of life beforehand may equip themselves at the expense of joy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
All the suffering and joy we experience depend on conditions.
We all wish to be brave and strong in the face of disaster. We all wish to be looked up to for our endurance and efforts to help others.
We live in a world of constant juxtaposition between joy that's possible and pain that's all too common. We hope for love and success and abundance, but we never quite forget that there is always lurking the possibility of disaster.
Joy is of the will which labours, which overcomes obstacles, which knows triumph.
There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.
The surest way to get a thing in this life is to be prepared for doing without it, to the exclusion even of hope.
The joy of life is in the work.
Some things are so unexpected that no one is prepared for them.
Among all the vicissitudes of life, which vary in each individual's experience, there is one event which sooner or later comes to everyone - Death!
Perhaps the day may come when we shall remember these sufferings with joy.
