Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1860-1919) was a poet, usually associated with sentimental, emotional verse and later included in multiple anthologies of bad poetry. However, her first published poem, "Solitude" (1883), introduced phrases which would enter the popular vernacular, if usually paraphrased: "Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone."
