In every job that must be done there is an element of fun. You find the job and - snap! - the job's a game.

Mary Poppins

Hie und da muss man traurig sein, damit man die Freude um so mehr schätzen kann. Gerade so, wie es zwischen dem Sonnen­schein regnen muss.

Tonke Dragt, Der Brief für den König (1962)

Die Zukunft war ein angenehmer und sonniger Nachmittag.

John Steinbeck, Das Tal des Himmels (1969)

Each day must be spent, in a sense, apart from any other; on each day there would be sun and cheerfulness or rain and sorrow or quiet contemplation of life. Each day must be past, present and future, with dancing and wine-making and drinking and as few regrets as possible. Her future must be the day she lived in.

Alice Walker, The Third Life of Grange Copeland (1970)

Resistance is the secret of joy.

Alice Walker, Possessing the Secret of Joy (1992)
