Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.
Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.
Friendship always benefits; love sometimes injures.
Happiness is understanding that friendship is more precious than mere things, more precious than getting your own way, more precious than being in situations where true principles are not at stake.
Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life.
Caring about others, running the risk of feeling, and leaving an impact on people, brings happiness.
To want friendship is a great fault. Friendship ought to be a gratuitous joy, like the joys afforded by art or life.
Friends love misery, in fact. Sometimes, especially if we are too lucky or too successful or too pretty, our misery is the only thing that endears us to our friends.
Family and friendships are two of the greatest facilitators of happiness.
Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.
