Everywhere across whatever sorrows of which our life is woven, some radiant joy will gaily flash past.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.
Joy is like restless day; but peace divine like quiet night; Lead me, O Lord, till perfect Day shall shine through Peace to Light.
Perhaps the day may come when we shall remember these sufferings with joy.
It was as if all of the happiness, all of the magic of this blissful hour had flowed together into these stirring, bittersweet tones and flowed away, becoming temporal and transitory once more.
Illusory joy is often worth more than genuine sorrow.
Sorrow happens, hardship happens, the hell with it, who never knew the price of happiness, will not be happy.
Joys too exquisite to last, And yet more exquisite when past.
In this world, full often, our joys are only the tender shadows which our sorrows cast.
The tender heart, the broken and contrite spirit, are to me far above all the joys that I could ever hope for in this vale of tears.
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
