GEMS OF THOUGHT
HIGHER JOYS. The most profound joy has more of gravity than of gaiety in it.—Montaigne. Tranquil pleasures last the longest; we are not fitted to bear long the burden of great joys—Bovee. Great joy, especially after a sudden change of circumstances, is apt to be silent, and dwells rather in the heart than on the tongue. —Fielding. Be faithful over home relations; they lead to higher joys: obey the Golden Rule for human life, and it will spare you much bitterness. —Mary Baker Eddy. Joy is an elation of spirit—of a spirit which trusts in the goodness and truth of its own possessions.—Seneca. Who bathes in worldly joys, swims in a world of fears. —Phineas Fletcher.
