Joy is that kind of happiness that does not depend on what happens.

One single gift acknowledged in gratefulness has the power to dissolve the ties of our alienation.

The root of joy is gratefulness...It is not joy that makes us grateful; it is gratitude that makes us joyful.

In moments of surprise we catch at least a glimpse of the joy to which gratefulness opens the door.

Grateful living makes life meaningful and full of joy.

Through people that I did know or through things that I did touch, I am connected with everything that ever was and everything that ever will be. Everything hangs together with everything.

The universe is gratis. It cannot be earned, nor need it be earned.
