Quote by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Laugh, 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.


Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alo

The quote highlights the idea that people are more likely to gather around and support those who exude positivity, while the burden of sadness is generally borne alone.
