Friendships multiply joys and divide griefs.

We can't choose our lives, but we can DECIDE what to do with the joys or griefs we're given.

Paulo Coelho

To want friendship is a great fault. Friendship ought to be a gratuitous joy, like the joys afforded by art or life.

Simone Weil

From nothing else but the brain come joys, delights, laughter and sports, and sorrows, griefs, despondency, and lamentations

Hippocrates

He who can conceal his joys, is greater than he who can hide his griefs

Johann Kaspar Lavater

Who partakes in another's joys is a more humane character than he who partakes in his griefs.

Johann Kaspar Lavater

Perfect friendship puts us under the necessity of being virtuous. As it can only be preserved among estimable persons, it forces us to resemble them. You find in friendship the surety of good counsel, the emulation of good example, sympathy in our griefs, succor in our distress.

Anne-Therese de Marguenat de Courcelles

The true poetry of life: the poetry of the commonplace, of the ordinary man, of the plain, toil-worn woman, with their loves and their joys, their sorrows and their griefs.

William Osler

Nothing opens the heart like a true friend, to whom you may impart griefs, joys, fears, hopes...and whatever lies upon the heart.

Francis Bacon

Flowers are lovely; love is flower-like; Friendship is a sheltering tree; Oh the joys that came down shower-like, Of friendship, love, and liberty, Ere I was old!
