Quote by Charles Dickens
When a man bleeds inwardly, it is a dangerous thing for himself; but when he laughs inwardly, it bodes no good to other people.
Summary

On the other hand, when someone experiences joy or amusement inwardly, it can be a sign that they may have malicious intentions towards others. The quote implies that hiding one's pain may be destructive to oneself, while hidden amusement may imply hidden harm towards others.
