It is a maxim that true greatness finds worthy colleagues and successors, and rejoices in them.
"The Expositor's Bible: The Book of Exodus"
G. A. Chadwick
Tell him that Alice rejoices to know that he is contented; for Tom has told me all about it, and since my sickness it has been a pleasure for me to think that a worthy man-and he is a worthy man; for no one can say aught against him except that he could not admire me, which does not seem to be a very grave offence, for no one else admires me-has found what his ability and industry entitles him to,-peace.
"The Mystery of the Locks"
Edgar Watson Howe
It rejoices me to be party to a large plan, and to have to do with a man who seeks to benefit the country rather than to carry a majority by concessions to fear.
"Lady-John-Russell"
MacCarthy, Desmond
