Seek not to know what must not be reveal, for joy only flows where fate is most concealed. A busy person would find their sorrows much more; if future fortunes were known before!
Dryden, John
When a friend, then, indulges in the joy of unburdening a secret on to another friend's bosom, he makes the latter, in his turn, feel the urge to taste the same joy himself. He implores him, it is true, not to tell a soul; but if such a condition were taken absolutely literally, it would at once cut off the flow of these joys at their very source. The general practice is for the secret to be confided only to an equally trustworthy friend, the same conditions being imposed on him. And so from trustworthy friend to trustworthy friend the secret goes moving on round that immense chain, until finally it reaches the ears of just the very person or persons whom the first talker had expressly intended it never should reach.
Manzoni, Alessandro
There are many things in your heart you can never tell another person. They are you, your private joys and sorrows, and you can never tell them. You cheapen yourself, the inside of yourself, when you tell them.
Garbo, Greta
Shared joy is double joy. Shared sorrow is half sorrow.
Proverb, Swedish
Joys impregnate. Sorrows bring forth.
Blake, William
Sorrows remembered sweeten present joy.
Pollok, Robert
Excessive sorrow laughs. Excessive joy weeps.
Blake, William
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy
Lennon, John
We make our fortunes and we call them fate.
Disraeli, Benjamin
We make our fortunes and call them fate.
Benjamin Disraeli
