"god laughs and plays."

"Truly! Truly! By God! Be as sure of it as you are that God lives: at the least good deed one here in this world, the least bit of good will, the least good desire, all the saints in heaven and on earth rejoice, and together with the angels their joy is such that all the joy in this world can't be compared. But the joy of them all together amounts to a little as a bean when compared to the joy of God over good deeds. For truly, God laughs and plays."

-Meister Eckhart
