Happiness is not perfected until it is shared

Said by

• It is said to be an old African saying
• Sir Philip Sidney wrote it in his book 'Aphorisms'  in the 15th century."Happiness is a sunbeam, that may pass through 1,000 bosoms without losing a single particle of its original ray; nay when it strikes on a kindred heart, like the converged light on a mirror, it reflects itself with redoubled brightness. Happiness is not perfected until it is shared."
