The most profound joy has more of gravity than gaiety in it —Montaigne. He w ire can conceal his joys is greater than he who can hide his griefs.—Lavater. Joys are our wings, sorrows our spurs.—Richter. There is a sweet joy that comes to us through sorrow —Spurgeon. The highest joy to the Christian 1 almost always comes through t suffering.
