Great Joy Quotes - Page 5

• How we delight to build our recollections upon some basis of reality,--a place, a country, a local habitation! how the events of life, as we look back upon them, have grown into the well-remembered background of the places where they fell upon us! Here is some sunny garden or summer lane, beautified and canonized forever, with the flood of a great joy; and here are dim and silent places,--rooms always shadowed and dark to us, whatever they may be to others,--where distress or death came once, and since then dwells forevermore.

  Washington Irving

  Summer, Country, Dark

• La gente es imitativa y la imitación está condenada a ser poco inteligente. Quieren hacer exactamente lo mismo que hacen los demás. Eso destruye su frescura. Haz las cosas a tu propio estilo; vive tu vida según tu propia luz. E incluso si se presenta la misma situación, estate alerta para encontrar una nueva respuesta. Es sólo cuestión de estar un poco alerta, y una vez que hayas empezado a disfrutar... y es realmente una gran alegría responder a las viejas situaciones siempre de una manera nueva, porque esa novedad te mantiene joven, te mantiene consciente, te mantiene no-mecánico, te mantiene vivo.

  Rajneesh

• People need to be fed, medicated, educated, clothed, and sheltered, and if we're compassionate we'll help them, but you get no moral credit for forcing other people to do what you think is right. There is great joy in helping people, but no joy in doing it at gunpoint.

• Joy is the zest that you get out of using your talents, your understanding, the totality of your being, for great aims...That's the kind of feeling that goes with creativity. That's why I say the courage to create. Creation does not come out of simply what you're born with. That must be united with your courage, both of which cause anxiety, but also great joy.

  Rollo May

• The kind of spirituality I value is one in which you get great joy out of contributing to life, not just sitting and meditating, although meditation is certainly valuable. But from meditation, from the resulting consciousness, I would like to see people in action creating the world they want to live in.

• No importa lo enorme que sea tu pérdida, mientras sigas comprometido con tu vida, los mejores días de tu vida pueden estar aún por delante. No me malinterpretes: el dolor de tu pérdida permanecerá contigo el resto de tu vida. Pero a su lado habrá una gran alegría. El dolor profundo y la alegría profunda pueden existir dentro de ti, uno al lado del otro. En todo momento. Y no es confuso. Y no es un conflicto.

• Meditation is nothing but an effort to drop all the foreign elements so that you can see yourself as you were before you were born, mirrored in its purity. It is a great silence and a great joy to be there, and once you start abiding there, there is no death and no time. All fear, all greed, all anger, disappears: one is just there with no idea, no desire.

  Rajneesh

• Poets and songwriters speak highly of spring as one of the great joys of life in the temperate zone, but in the real world most of spring is disappointing. We looked forward to it too long, and the spring we had in mind in February was warmer and dryer than the actual spring when it finally arrives. We'd expected it to be a whole season, like winter, instead of a handful of separate moments and single afternoons.

  Barbara Holland

• It is not that the Englishman can't feel-it is that he is afraid to feel. He has been taught at his public school that feeling is bad form. He must not express great joy or sorrow, or even open his mouth too wide when he talks-his pipe might fall out if he did.
