There was always a quest for more minutes, more hours, faster progress to accomplish more in each day. The simple joy of living between summers was gone. ~ Mitch Albom
Simple Joys quotes by Mitch Albom
Lastly, she pictured to herself how this same little sister of hers would, in the after-time, be herself a grown woman; and how she would keep, through all her riper years, the simple and loving heart of her childhood: and how she would gather about her other little children, and make their eyes bright and eager with many a strange tale, perhaps even with the dream of Wonderland of long ago: and how she would feel with all their simple sorrows, and find a pleasure in all their simple joys, remembering her own child-life, and the happy summer days. ~ Lewis Carroll
Simple Joys quotes by Lewis Carroll
Mamma was the first person who had given her the pleasure of feeling that her peasant existence, with its simple joys and sorrows, might offer some interest, might be a source of grief or pleasure to some one other than herself. My ~ Marcel Proust
Simple Joys quotes by Marcel Proust
Daisies are what boho dreams are made of. They bring to mind sun-soaked wild flower fields, spontaneous wanderings in the country air the simple joys of bundling found blooms and foliage into a worn basket. I can almost smell the sunshine when I look at these happy flowers and feel the urge to wear a flower crown and spin around barefoot! Daisies are the perfect addition to any laid back and rustic decor or shabby chic event! ~ Chantal Larocque
Simple Joys quotes by Chantal Larocque
It's the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary; only wise men are able to understand them ~ Paulo Coelho
Simple Joys quotes by Paulo Coelho
Do few things but do them well, simple joys are holy. ~ Francis Of Assisi
Simple Joys quotes by Francis Of Assisi
We only need to open our eyes to see the gifts that abound all around us. These are the simple joys in life. ~ Genevieve Gerard
Simple Joys quotes by Genevieve Gerard
Sometimes people will think, I need to have pre-sanctioned spiritual joy. Getting joy from my contemplative meditation practice or getting joy from reading Thich Nhat Hahn books. Those things can be joyful but I think it's the small, simple joys of playing with dogs or having sex with someone you love or going for a walk outside, stuff that we tend to ignore. ~ Moby
Simple Joys quotes by Moby
Up to one's last breath, one may retain the simple joys of childhood, the poetic ecstasies of the young person, the enthusiasms of maturity. Right to the end, one may intoxicate one's spirit with flowers, with beauty and with smiles. ~ Eliphas Levi
Simple Joys quotes by Eliphas Levi
If I wasted my time worrying, I would be deprived of all the simple joys of life! ~ Jen Selinsky
Simple Joys quotes by Jen Selinsky
An abyss of fortune or of temperament sundered him from them. His mind seemed older than theirs: it shone coldly on their strifes and happiness and regrets like a moon upon a younger earth. No life or youth stirred in him as it had stirred in them. He had known neither the pleasure of companionship with others nor the vigour of rude male health nor filial piety. Nothing stirred within his soul but a cold and cruel and loveless lust. His childhood was dead or lost and with it his soul capable of simple joys and he was drifting amid life like the barren shell of the moon. ~ James Joyce
Simple Joys quotes by James Joyce
I wondered then why children played so in the river, but adults ceased to see it with the same eyes. Why couldn't we embrace such simple joys? ~ John Shors
Simple Joys quotes by John Shors
Joy is the infallible sign of the presence of God. ~ Pierre Teilhard De Chardin
Simple Joys quotes by Pierre Teilhard De Chardin
When our emotional health is in a bad state, so is our level of self-esteem. We have to slow down and deal with what is troubling us, so that we can enjoy the simple joy of being happy and at peace with ourselves. ~ Jess C. Scott
Simple Joys quotes by Jess C. Scott
Your life will always be better off when you concentrate on the simplest joys of life like drinking a cup of coffee! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Simple Joys quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
The Dream I Dream For You, My Child
...
I hope you search for four-leaf clovers,
grin back at Cheshire moons,
breathe in the springtime breezes,
and dance with summer loons.
I hope you gaze in wide-eyed wonder
at the buzzing firefly
and rest beneath the sunlit trees
as butterflies fly by.
I hope you gather simple treasures
of pebbles, twigs, and leaves
and marvel at the fragile web
the tiny spider weaves.
I hope you read poetry and fairy tales
and sing silly, made-up songs,
and pretend to be a superhero
righting this world's wrongs.
I hope your days are filled with magic
and your nights with happy dreams,
and you grow up knowing that happiness
is found in simple things.
The dream I dream for you, my child,
as you discover, learn, and grow,
is that you find these simple joys
wherever in life you go. ~ L.R. Knost
Simple Joys quotes by L.R. Knost
what a life would be if i could just live in the mountains dense with greenery, sit by my window and read my favourite books. ~ Arushi Singh
Simple Joys quotes by Arushi Singh
There is something in the American project, something in simple American oratory, something in the hope and idealism of this frustrating and contradictory nation that still makes my spirits soar and my heart leap with optimism and belief. If only they understood how to make a cup of tea. ~ Stephen Fry
Simple Joys quotes by Stephen Fry
Such is modern computing: everything simple is made too complicated because it's easy to fiddle with; everything complicated stays complicated because it's hard to fix. ~ Rob Pike
Simple Joys quotes by Rob Pike
Well, killing a man isn't clean and quick and simple. It's bloody and awful. And maybe if enough people come to realize that shooting somebody isn't just fun and games, maybe we'll get somewhere. ~ Sam Peckinpah
Simple Joys quotes by Sam Peckinpah
Courts should always do the right thing. But if winning were as simple as making a good argument and filing a good brief, then we would have won the freedom to marry 40 years ago. We must put the legal work next to the public education work next to the legislative work next to the organizing work, and that's what's brought us so far. ~ Evan Wolfson
Simple Joys quotes by Evan Wolfson
He's often wished that he could capture the full essence of each woman's laugh on canvas, but he settles instead, on watching how, when a woman chuckles, her head moves slightly to the left or right so that the light grazes it at a new angle and creates a new pattern of highlight and shadow. It's this subtle shifting that he finds astounding - how everything and nothing can be written on a face through its lines, through the way skin around the eyes crinkle or how the shifting of a mouth belies joy or sarcasm or simple placation. He wonders what Vermeer might have said to that girl with the pearl earring, what words could have stirred in her that wanton expression, because even amateurs understand that faces allow an entry point and that negative space is the key to any good painting: what isn't included is sometimes more important than what is. ~ Adam Gallari
Simple Joys quotes by Adam Gallari
What Ethereum Is Good For Ethereum is suited to building economic systems in pure software. In other words, it's software for business logic, wherein people (users) can move money (data representing value) around with the speed and scale that we normally get with data.12 Not the three- to seven-day floating period you get with the commercial banking system. Or the fees associated with vendors such as Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal. With a simple Ethereum application, for example, it is fairly trivial to pay hundreds of thousands of people, in hundreds of countries, small amounts every few minutes, whereas in the legacy banking system you would need an entire payroll department working overtime to constantly rebalance your account ledgers and deal with the cross-border issues. ~ Chris Dannen
Simple Joys quotes by Chris Dannen
He grinned, a woman's downfall wrought in a simple stretch of his lips. It was her downfall, certainly, her personal undoing because she never saw the expression outside their private chambers. It was her exclusive domain and never failed to turn her knees wobbly. ~ Ashlyn Macnamara
Simple Joys quotes by Ashlyn Macnamara
Josiah became King of Judah at the age of eight. Joan of Arc led the French Army at nineteen. King Tut led all of Egypt at age nine. Age isn't everything you think it is. Your heart and your spirit speak more than a simple candle count on your birthday cake. ~Tony (Exposing ELE) ~ Rebecca Gober
Simple Joys quotes by Rebecca Gober
I believe our Heavenly Father's everlasting purpose for His children is generally achieved by the small and simple things we do for one another. At the heart of the English word 'atonement' is the word 'one.' If all mankind understood this, there would never be anyone with whom we would not be concerned, regardless of age, race, gender, religion, or social or economic standing. We would strive to emulate the Savior and would never be unkind, indifferent, disrespectful, or insensitive to others. ~ M. Russell Ballard
Simple Joys quotes by M. Russell Ballard
am; but a man mun speak out for the truth, and when I see the world going all wrong at this time o' day, bothering itself wi' things it knows nought about, and leaving undone all the things that lie in disorder close at its hand - why, I say, leave a' this talk about religion alone, and set to work on what yo' see and know. That's my creed. It's simple, and not far to fetch, nor hard to work. ~ Elizabeth Gaskell
Simple Joys quotes by Elizabeth Gaskell
It's a simple question of supply and demand. But all of us are grossly overpaid. I think it's a ridiculous dispute. ~ Jim Courier
Simple Joys quotes by Jim Courier
Irony regards every simple truth as a challenge. ~ Mason Cooley
Simple Joys quotes by Mason Cooley
Vietnamese Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh is one of the most beloved Buddhist teachers in the West, a rare combination of mystic, poet, scholar, and activist. His luminous presence and the simple, compassionate clarity of his writings have touched countless lives. ~ Joanna Macy
Simple Joys quotes by Joanna Macy
One of the biggest - and I would guess most common - mistakes parents make is to transfer their own childhood shit onto their kids. Whatever their joys and agonies were growing up, they assume will be exactly the same for their children, and they let it guide their parenting. I can see the same dumb instincts in myself. When I first started hanging out with my old boyfriend's kids, I found it depressing because I would just look at them and think of how miserable they must be, and how totally alone they must feel. To me, that's what childhood meant. But the truth was that they were fine. Happy-go-lucky, even. ~ Sarah Silverman
Simple Joys quotes by Sarah Silverman
To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other. ~ Carlos Castaneda
Simple Joys quotes by Carlos Castaneda
Peace is simple, but it takes great courage to be simple and walk the path of peace. ~ Debasish Mridha
Simple Joys quotes by Debasish Mridha
Acting is a really simple job - it's just hard to do. You just have to be that person with their background in that situation. That's all it is. My kids do it all the time when they're dressing up and playing games. ~ Jason Isaacs
Simple Joys quotes by Jason Isaacs
And just as the same town, when looked at from different sides, appears quite different and is, as it were, multiplied in perspective, so also it happens that because of the infinite number of simple substances, it is as if there were as many different universes, which are however but different perspective representations of a single universe form the different point of view of each monad. ~ Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz
Simple Joys quotes by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz
A hero can be anyone, even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat on a young boy's shoulders to let him know the world hadn't ended. ~ Christopher Nolan
Simple Joys quotes by Christopher Nolan
what need of wealth and riches when he could lead a simple, contented life ~ Peter Michael Rosenberg
Simple Joys quotes by Peter Michael Rosenberg
I like well-made clothes, and I don't mind spending a lot of money on something that looks super, super simple. I don't like knockoffs. ~ Micah Lexier
Simple Joys quotes by Micah Lexier
people need simple, secure, powerful, integrated, and user-friendly ways to create, consume, purchase, share, and manage their content. ~ Phil Simon
Simple Joys quotes by Phil Simon
A simple change of scenery can bring about powerful shifts in the flow of time and emotions ~ Haruki Murakami
Simple Joys quotes by Haruki Murakami
And what can a simple girl do? (Henry)
I was told, by my father, of St. Mary of Aragon who single-handedly brought down an entire Saracen army with nothing more than her faith in God. He also spoke of an ancient Celtic queen named Boudicca who brought Rome to her knees and burned London to the ground. He oft said that a woman was far more deadly as an enemy than a man, because men lead with their heads and women with their hearts. You can argue and win against another's head, but never against her heart. (Callie) ~ Kinley MacGregor
Simple Joys quotes by Kinley MacGregor
Spyglasses, as Lipperhey called telescopes, whether they're in the form of spotting scopes, spyplanes, or reconnaissance satellites, are more than simple instruments or tools. They beget infrastructures and geographies. ~ Trevor Paglen
Simple Joys quotes by Trevor Paglen
Werewolf is a simple game for a large group of people (seven or more.) It requires no equipment besides some bits of paper; you can play it just sitting in a circle. I'd call it a party game, except that it's a game of accusations, lying, bluffing, second-guessing, assassination, and mob hysteria. ~ Andrew Plotkin
Simple Joys quotes by Andrew Plotkin
Lincoln had an almost childlike habit of regaling visitors with any sharp saying he'd uttered during the day, taking simple-hearted pleasure in some of his best hits. ~ Harold Holzer
Simple Joys quotes by Harold Holzer
The artist cannot hold back; it is impossible, because writing, or any other discipline of art, involves participation in suffering, in the ills and the occasional stabbing joys that come from being part of the human drama. ~ Madeleine L'Engle
Simple Joys quotes by Madeleine L'Engle
Two simple ways to win a war against the world:
First, find the faults within;
Second, there is no war. ~ Kunal Narayan Uniyal
Simple Joys quotes by Kunal Narayan Uniyal
I tend to like the most basic pieces with the perfect fit and fabric, like a simple tank. ~ Alexander Wang
Simple Joys quotes by Alexander Wang
Any universe simple enough to be understood is too simple to produce a mind able to understand it
-Barrow's Uncertainty Principle ~ John D. Barrow
Simple Joys quotes by John D. Barrow
Sometimes even the greatest joys bring challenge, and children with special needs inspire a very, very special love. ~ Sarah Palin
Simple Joys quotes by Sarah Palin
Somewhere in those depths of silence I came upon my first experiences of God as a loving presence that was always near, and prayer as a simple trust in that presence. ~ Cynthia Bourgeault
Simple Joys quotes by Cynthia Bourgeault
Roy Oswalt is a drop and drive pitcher. What is a drop and drive pitcher? He is a guy who drops and drives. Very simple. ~ Tim McCarver
Simple Joys quotes by Tim McCarver
The task may be simple for me, but if I make it look too easy, you won't appreciate it as much as if I pretend to struggle to help you out. ~ Jarod Kintz
Simple Joys quotes by Jarod Kintz
How would this world be if there was not God? The answer is simple: it would become itself God. ~ Sorin Cerin
Simple Joys quotes by Sorin Cerin
Finally, "industrial society," to use a genteel euphemism for capitalism, has also become an easy explanation for the environmental ills that afflict our time. But a blissful ignorance clouds the fact that several centuries ago, much of England's forest land, including Robin Hood's legendary haunts, was deforested by the crude axes of rural proletarians to produce charcoal for a technologically simple metallurgical economy and to clear land for profitable sheep runs. This occurred long before the Industrial Revolution. ~ Murray Bookchin
Simple Joys quotes by Murray Bookchin
Better to forget, better to let go of the bitterness. I say bitterness is only good in medicine, or if you fry bitter gourd with egg, then it's dlicious. I told Lan-Lan many times, we have only one life, it's important to kua kwee, to look spaciously. Not keep the eyes so narrowed down to the small dispairs.
Those people who say forgive and forget, I say they not right. Not so simple. I say, find right medicine. Bitterness must be just right for problem. Then swallow it, think of good things can do when no longer sick. ~ Lydia Kwa
