The only way to have a friend
is to be one.- R W Emerson
The severest test of character
is not so much the ability to
keep a secret as it is,but
when the secret is finally out,
but to refrain from disclosing
that you knew it all along.
Make new friends, but keep the old;
those are silver, these are gold -
Joseph Parry
If you think you are beaten, you are;
if you think you dare not, you don't;
if you'd like to win, but think you can't
it's almost a cinch you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost;
for out in the world we find
success begins with a fellow's Will -
it's all in the state of mind.
If you think you are outclassed, you are;
you've got to think high to rise.
You've just got-to-be sure of yourself
before you can win the prize.
Life's battles don't always go
to the stronger or faster man,
but sooner or later the man who wins
is the one who thinks he can.
Yesterday is but a refelection,
Today is now,
Tomorrow is a bonus. -
Jim Billingsley
Choose your friends with care,
that you may have choice friends.
There are three kinds of friends:
Best friends,
Guest friends,
and Pest friends.
I can forgive but I cannot forget,
is only another way of saying
'I cannot forgive'
True friendship comes when
silence between two people
becomes complete -
David Tyson Gentry
The first ingredient in conversation
is truth;
the next, good sense;
the third, good humour;
the fourth, - wit.
- Sir William Temple
There are ten good things
for which no man has ever
been sorry:-
For doing good to all;
For speaking evil of no one;
For hearing before judging;
For thinking before speaking;
For holding an angry tongue;
For being kind to the distressed;
For asking pardon for all wrongs;
For being patient toward everybody;
For stopping the ear of tale bearer;
For dis-believing most of the evil reports.
A friend
is a present
you give yourself.
- Robert Louis Stevenson
Laughter is the sun
that drives winter
from the human face.
- Victor Hugo
People are lonely
because they build
walls instead of bridges.
- Joseph Lort Newton
Who ceases to be a friend,
never was one.
A real friend
never gets in your way,
unless you happen
to be on the way
down.
True friendship is like sound health,
the value of it is seldom known
until it is lost.
- Charles Caleb Colton
We make living
by what we get,
but we make a life
by what we give.
- Winston Churchill
In prosperity
our friends know us;
in adversity
we know our friends.
The severn modern sins.
Policies without principles
Pleasure without consience
Wealth without work
Knowledge without character
Industry withou morality
Science without humanity
Worship without sacrifice.
Shared joy is
double joy
and shared sorrow
is half-sorrow.
We do not inherit
the earth from our ancestors,
we borrow it
for our children.
- Kenyan Proverb
Never fear shadows.
They simply mean there's
a light shining
somewhere nearby.
