“Scatter joy!”

“There is no beautifier of complexion, or form, or behavior, like the wish to scatter joy and not pain around us.”

“Then [good manners] must be inspired by the good heart. There is no beautifier of complexion, or form, or behavior, like the wish to scatter joy and not pain around us.”

“There is in nature a parallel unity which corresponds to the unity in the mind and makes it available. This methodizing mind meets no resistance in its attempts. The scattered blocks, with which it strives to form a symmetrical structure, fit. This design following after finds with joy that like design went before. Not only man puts things in a row, but things belong in a row.”

“Rectitude is a perpetual victory, celebrated not by cries of joy but by serenity, which is joy fixed or habitual.”

“You shall have joy, or you shall have power, said God; you shall not have both.”

“Go forth into the busy world and love it. Interest yourself in its life, mingle kindly with its joys and sorrows.”
