Peace, of all wordly blessings, is the most valuable.
~~~~~~Smallridge
Peace hath her victories, No less renown'd than war.
~~~~~~Milton
Hope is a lover's staff; walk hence with that,
And manage it against despairing thoughts.
~~~~~~Two Gent. of VerHope never spread its wings but in unfathomable seas.
~~~~~~EmersonHope springs eternal in the human breast;
Man never is, but always to be blest.
~~~~~~Pope
Joy descends gently upon us like the evening dew, and does not patter down like a hailstorm
~~~~~~Jean PaulJoy is more divine than sorrow; for joy is bread, and sorrow is medicine
~~~~~~Ward BeecherJoys are our wings, sorrows are our spurs
~~~~~~Jean PaulJoy must have sorrow; sorrow, joy
~~~~~~GoetheJoy is the mainspring in the whole round of universal Nature: joy moves the wheels of the great timepiece of the world; she it is that loosens flowers from their buds, suns from their firmaments, rolling spheres in distant space not seen by the glass of the astronomer.
~~~~~~Schiller
