Ella Wheeler WilcoxLaugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone; For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth, But has trouble enough of its own.
About This Quote
The more you laugh, the more the world laughs with you. The more you cry, the more you weep alone. Laughter and tears are connected. Everyone shares in the laughter of the person who is laughing, and everyone shares in the tears of the one weeping.
So it's important to not feel so sad for yourself because the sad old earth has enough of its own troubles already. Happiness is contagious!
