Life is joy, and love is power,
Death all fetters doth unbind,
Strength and wisdom only flower
When we toil for all our kind.
Hope is truth the future giveth
More than present takes away,
And the soul forever liveth
Nearer God from day to day.
J. R. Lowell.
True joy is a serene and sober motion; and they are miserably out that take
laughing for rejoicing. The seat of it is within, and there is no cheerfulness
like the resolutions of a brave mind.
Seneca.
The fountain of joy is fed by tears,
And love is lit by the breath of sighs;
The deepest griefs and the wildest fears
Have holiest ministries.
J. G. Holland.
Love is the top of the tree. Joy is not necessarily associated with thinking,
but joy is inseparable from love. Love awakens love even in cold souls, as
the sun awakens fragrant flowers from cold roots. Weary hearts never
forget the hours which they have spent in the company of love filled
souls. Nothing is so sure of ample and endless recompense as love.
John Pulsford.
There is a day of sunny rest
For every dark and troubled night!
And grief may bide, an evening guest,
But joy shall come with early light.
W. C. Bryant.
Joy and sorrow are next door neighbors.
Opitz.
Prayer invariably begets a love for the Word of God, and sets people to the reading of it.
Prayer leads people to obey the Word of God, and puts into the heart which obeys a joy
unspeakable.
E. M. Bounds
sang-froid (sä-frwä") noun Coolness and
composure, especially in trying circumstances. Synonym equanimity
The Comtesse, too, had risen to her feet, rigid and erect, trying to hide her excitement
beneath more becoming sang-froid, she
repeated mechanically, "I will not see her! I will not see her!"

A FEW SMILES
Redneck Computer Terms:
A Blonde Finds Work... If the previous one gets by, then I'll try again. At least if I get concerned email, I won't be able to read it until my computer is straightened up.
A blonde began a job as an elementary school counselor, and she was eager
to help. One day during recess she noticed a boy standing by himself on the side of a
playing field while the rest of the kids enjoyed a game of soccer at the other. Sandy
approached and asked if he was alright. We have had the coolest summer on record here in northeast Ohio this year. Canton, where our family resides, had one day where the temperature briefly climbed to 87. Most days we barely climber to 74. These following statements just weren't heard around here this year but maybe you've heard them.
"It's So Hot That......" "If we don't
succeed, we run the risk of failure." TRUE FACT ... Humans begin laughing at two to three months of age. Six year olds laugh about 300 times per day, while adults laugh from 15 to 100 times per day. |
