A Quote by Dmitri Shostakovich

I think it is clear to everyone what happens in the Fifth . The rejoicing is forced, created under threat, as in Boris Godunov . It's as if someone were beating you with a stick and saying, "Your business is rejoicing, your business is rejoicing," and you rise, shaky, and go marching off, muttering, "Our business is rejoicing, our business is rejoicing.

Rejoicing and repentance must go together. Repentance without rejoicing will lead to despair. Rejoicing without repentance is shallow and will only provide passing inspiration instead of deep change.

Timothy Keller

Our business is rejoicing, our business is rejoicing.

Dmitri Shostakovich

Whenever you hear that someone else has been successful, rejoice. Always practice rejoicing for others-whether your friend or your enemy. If you cannot practice rejoicing, no matter how long you live, you will not be happy.

Thubten Zopa Rinpoche

Rejoicing refers to moderation of spirit when the mind keeps itself in calmness under adversity and does not give indulgence to grief. Constant praying is the way of 'rejoicing perpetually', for by this means we ask from God alleviation in connection with all our distresses.

John Calvin

Rejoicing in the good fortune of others is a practice that can help us when we feel emotionally shut down and unable to connect with others. Rejoicing generates good will.

Pema Chodron

Loving God means rejoicing in God, being eager to think of and pray to God. It means being glad to be in God's presence and to be with God alone. It means not grieving God, but rejoicing in God simply because it is God who is involved, and because we are permitted to know and have God, and to speak with and live with God.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Everybody knows what celebration is. I have never come across a person who does not know what celebration is. Just rejoicing in your being, just rejoicing in this moment, this tremendous universe. You had not asked for it, you have simply been given a universe which is infinite and eternal. You have not asked and you have been given a consciousness which is eternal, which can become festive. If you allow it, it can make you the sanest, the most graceful, the most loving.

Rajneesh

Adam was created, as it were, intoxicated with rejoicing toward God and was delighted also with all the other creatures.

Martin Luther

Isn't it sad to go to your grave without ever wondering why you were born? Who, with such a thought, would not spring from bed, eager to resume discovering the world and rejoicing to be part of it?

Richard Dawkins

Your primary calling is to worship ... to pursue celebration and rejoicing as a way of life.

Graham Cooke

That the Creator himself comes to us and becomes our ransom - this is the reason for our rejoicing.

Martin Luther

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

Friedrich Nietzsche

There is no occasion for our rejoicing at a foe's death, because our own life will also not last forever.

Bill Vaughan

Lift every voice and sing Till earth and heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of Liberty. Let our rejoicing rise high as the listening skies; Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.

James Weldon Johnson

The intention of this Book of The Law is perfectly simple. Whatever your sexual predilections may be, you are free, by the Law of Thelema, to the the star you are, to go your own way rejoicing.

Aleister Crowley

Call on a business man only at business times, and on business; transact your business, and go about your business, in order to give him time to finish his business.

Duke of Wellington
