“Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world. We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy.”
“We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.”
“We are allowed to do that, are we not Mabel? To invent our own endings and choose joy over sorrow?”
“Such are contrasts we see every day in the world. Joy and Sorrow! But Joy is an exile from Heaven who does not remain in any one place. Sorrow is a son of Hell who does not release his prey until he has torn it to pieces.”
“Joy is thankfulness, and when we are joyful, that is the best expression of thanks we can offer the Lord, Who delivers us from sorrow and sin.”
“We all struggle alone through the ten thousand joys and ten thousand sorrows of our lives.”
