"Joy is a decision, a really brave one, about how you are going to respond to life."

Wess Stafford

"I define joy as a sustained sense of well-being and internal peace—a connection to what matters."

Oprah Winfrey

"Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are."

Marianne Williamson

"Joy is a net of love in which you can catch souls."

Mother Teresa

"Balance, peace, and joy are the fruit of a successful life. It starts with recognizing your talents and finding ways to serve others by using them. "

Thomas Kinkade

"Joy goes against the foundations of mathematics: it multiplies when we divide."

Paulo Coelho

"…find out where joy resides, and give it a voice far beyond singing. For to miss the joy is to miss all."

Robert Louis Stevenson

"Find joy in everything you choose to do. Every job, relationship, home... it's your responsibility to love it, or change it."

Chuck Palahniuk

"Joy is the holy fire that keeps our purpose warm and our intelligence aglow."

Helen Keller

"The joy of giving is the greatest joy of life."

Rhonda Byrne

"We find greatest joy, not in getting, but in expressing what we are. Men do not really live for honors or for pay; their gladness is not the taking and holding, but in doing, the striving, the building, the living. It is a higher joy to teach than to be taught. It is good to get justice, but better to do it; fun to have things but more to make them. The happy man is he who lives the life of love, not for the honors it may bring, but for the life itself."

R.J. Baughan

"If you carry joy in your heart, you can heal any moment."

Carlos Santana
