If I may trust the flattering truth of sleep.
My dreams presage some joyful news at hand. [ William Shakespeare ]

A joyful evening may follow a sorrowful morning. [ Proverb ]

Peace, dear nurse of arts, plenties and joyful births. [ William Shakespeare ]

The good are joyful in the midst of poverty; but the wicked are sad in great riches. [ Proverb ]

O, the eye's light is a noble gift of heaven! All beings live from light; each fair created thing. The very plants turn with a joyful transport to the light. [ Schiller ]

The love of a mother is never exhausted; it never changes, it never tires. A father may turn his back on his child, brothers and sisters may become inveterate enemies, husbands may desert their wives, wives their husbands; but a mother's love endures through all; in good repute, in bad repute, in the face of the world's condemnation, a mother still loves on, and still hopes that her child may turn from his evil ways, and repent; she still remembers the infant smiles that once filled her bosom with rapture, the merry laugh, the joyful shout of Iris childhood, the opening promise of his youth; and she can never be brought to think him all unworthy. [ W. Irving ]
