Marcus Tullius CiceroFriendship improves happiness, and abates misery, by doubling our joys, and dividing our grief
About This Quote
Friendship improves happiness. If we could capture the essence of friendship and put it into a single phrase, we might end up with this: “Friendship improves happiness by doubling our joys and dividing our grief.” Friendship is one of the most important parts of life, and we should strive to make it a part of our lives as often as possible.
