Friend & Friendship




A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same. Elbert Hubbard
                                                      
A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil; but it needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small, silly presents every so often - just to save it from drying out completely.



A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.



A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.


You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.



A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.




But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life, and thanks to a benevolent arrangement the greater part of life is sunshine.
Thomas Jefferson

 Friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies.



Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.
C. S. Lewis


Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.Muhammad Ali





I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.
Katherine Mansfield 




I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better. Plutarch
 



I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar. Robert Brault

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.
Epicurus




It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

The age might just take you by surprise.  It did me.  Stay with this -- the answer is at the end.  It will blow you away. One evening a grandson was talking to his grandfather about current events. The grandson asked his grandfather what he thought about the shootings at schools, the computer age, and just things in general.. The Grandfather replied, "Well, let me think a minute, I was born before : *   television, penicillin, polio, shots, frozen, foods, Xerox, contact, lenses, Frisbees and      the pill There were no: *   credit cards, laser beams or  ball-point pens Man had not invented: *  pantyhose *  air conditioners *  dishwashers *  clothes dryers the clothes were hung out to dry in the fresh air and  man hadn't yet walked on the moon Your Grandmother and I got married first, .. ... ... and then lived toge...

"Ignorance" - There is nothing more frightening than ignorance in action.- Goethe

Albert Einstein: Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe. Amos Bronson Alcott: To be ignorant of one's ignorance is the malady of the ignorant. Blaise Pascal: You always admire what you really don't understand. Daniel J Boorstin: The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance -- it is the illusion of knowledge. Dorothy Thompson: One cannot be disillusioned of what one never put faith in. George Eliot: Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us worthy evidence of the fact.
