Khalil Gibran
Lebanese - Poet

In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

Khalil Gibran

And let your best be for your friend. If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also. For what is your friend that your should seek with him hours to kill? Seek with him always hours to live. For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness. And in the sweetness of friendship, let there be laughter, and the sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

Khalil Gibran

But love, honest love, requires empathy. It is a sharing—of joy, of pain, of laughter, and of tears. Honest love makes one’s soul a reflection of the partner’s moods. And as a room seems larger when it is lined with mirrors, so do the joys become amplified. And as the individual items within the mirrored room seem less acute, so does pain diminish and fade, stretched thin by the sharing. That is the beauty of love, whether in passion or friendship. A sharing that multiplies the joys and thins the pains.

R. A. Salvatore

It was the same with friendship. Disagreement between friends and spouses, too had to be carefully handled. If the time you spent with friends was consumed by disagreement, then there was no room for the essence of friendship, which was a sharing of the world. And that sharing involved seeing things the same way, or at least seeing things through the eyes of the friend.

Alexander McCall Smith

Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.

Elie Wiesel

Good fellowship and friendship are lasting, rational and manly pleasures.

William Wycherley

The fundamental truth of democracy is the belief that the real pleasures of life are increased by sharing them.

Henry Dwight Sedgwick

Shared laughter creates a bond of friendship.

Lee Grant

That's what friendship means: sharing the prejudice of experience.

Charles Bukowski

Laughter is not a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is the best ending for one.

Henry Ward Beecher

Sharing laughter is a way of casting delight to the wind so it blows everywhere and to everyone.

Paul Pearsall

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

Oscar Wilde

Laughter to begin with was probably glee at the misfortunes of others. The baring of the teeth in laughter hints at its savage ancestry. Animals have no malice, hence also no laughter. They never savor the sudden glory of Schadenfreude. It was its infectious quality that made of laughter a medium of mutuality.
