Joy Quotes

Someone rightly said that joy is the absence of struggles in life. All the endless struggles that a man undergoes are in his attempt to experience joy. But what most people forget that life is the way you take it and creating a life of joy depends completely on your strategies and approach towards situations. The joy, which comes from personal satisfaction and love, not only multiplies with success or achievements but with true pleasure of giving, caring and most importantly letting others live. Read the following joy quotes to feel spirit of it.

The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding.
