A success unshared is a failure.
Lou knew that joy unshared was a halved emotion, just as sadness and loss, when borne alone, were often doubled.
Happiness quite unshared can scarcely be called happiness; it has no taste.
An unshared happiness is not happiness.
Not that one choose to draw aside in churlish mein or vein, From common lot of what life holds of pleasure, toil or pain But that the call-s to rise and cruise alone with dreams unshared Or plan alone for some far goal, for which none else has cared Or fight alone for what you hold is worth a warrior-s strife And ask no gain or fame or aught beyond the joy of life.
There's no delight in owning anything unshared.
These are the stories that we tell ourselves and only ourselves, and they are better left unshared.
