“Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain



“Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything." Muhammad Ali

“In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a sure refuge. The young they keep out of mischief; to the old they are a comfort and aid in their weakness, and those in the prime of life they incite to noble deeds.” Aristotle

"When I find myself fading, I close my eyes and realize my friends are my energy." Anon.

“Friendship is like a prism through which the many variations of beauty are revealed in our lives.” Anon.

"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." Pam Brown

"Some people weave burlap into the fabric of our lives, and some weave gold thread. Both contribute to make the whole picture beautiful and unique." Anon.

"Every time you wake up and ask yourself, "What good things am I going to do today?", remember that when the sun goes down at sunset, it will take a part of your life with it."

Proverb

"Here is the test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished: if you're alive, it isn't."

Richard Bach

"I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see." John Burroughs

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Dr. Miller says we are pessimistic because life seems like a very bad, very screwed-up film. If you ask "What the hell is wrong with the projector?" and go up to the control room, you find it's empty. You are the projectionist, and you should have been up there all the time.

Colin Wilson

Dance like there's nobody watching

Love like you'll never get hurt

Sing like there's nobody listening

Live like it's heaven on earth

And speak from the heart to be heard.

William W. Purkey

"We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men."

Herman Melville

"Live as if your were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever."

Mahatma Gandhi

"We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us." E. M. Forster

“I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and new.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Life without thankfulness is devoid of love and passion. Hope without thankfulness is lacking in fine perception. Faith without thankfulness lacks strength and fortitude. Every virtue divorced from thankfulness is maimed and limps along the spiritual road. “

John Henry Jowett

“If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "thank you," that would suffice.”

Meister Eckhart
