These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you. –Jesus Christ (John 15:11-12)
This is the one true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. -George Bernard Shaw
It is pleasing to God whenever thou rejoicest or laughest from the bottom of thy heart. -Martin Luther
People are naturally happy on some occasions, but the Christian's joy is not dependent on circumstances. It comes from what Christ has done, and it is constant. -NIV commentary
If we try hard to bring happiness to others, we cannot stop it from coming to us also. To get joy, we must give it, and to keep joy, we must scatter it. -John Templeton
Resolve to keep happy and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties. -Helen Keller
What a wonderful life I've had! I only wish I'd realized it sooner. -Colette
