If someone told me it wasn't 'fashionable' to talk about freedom, I think I'd just have to look him square in the eye and say, 'Okay, YOU TELL ME what's fashionable'.' But he won't. And you know why Because you can't ask someone what's fashionable in a smart-alecky way like that. You have to be friendly and say, 'By the way, what's fashionable'(Jack Handey Deep Thoughts)
When Rick told me he was having trouble with his wife, I had to laugh. Not because of what he said, but because of a joke I thought of. I told him the joke, but he didn't laugh very much. Some friend HE is.(Jack Handey Deep Thoughts)
When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have problems with our friends or our family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and argument. That is my experience. If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change.(Thich Nhat Hanh)
I have no trouble with my enemies. I can take care of my enemies all right. But my damn friends...They're the ones that keep me walking the floor nights(Warren Gamaliel Harding)
Only solitary men know the full joys of friendship. Others have their family but to a solitary and an exile his friends are everything.(Warren Gamaliel Harding)
For believe me, in this world which is ever slipping from under our feet, it is the prerogative of friendship to grow old with one's friends.(Arthur S. Hardy)
Once in a while you meet someone, and soon you both discover the two of you are truly something special to each other... you share your thoughts and feelings so relaxed, so openly, and right away you know your friendship's truly meant to be.(Gary Harrington)
Never judge someone by who he's in love with judge him by his friends. People fall in love with the most appalling people. Take a cool, appraising glance at his pals.(Cynthia Heimel)
Your enemy is never a villain in his own eyes. Keep this in mind, it may offer a way to make him your friend. If not, you can kill him without hate--and quickly.(Robert Anson Heinlein)
A friend drops their plans when you're in trouble, shares joy in your accomplishments, feels sad when you're in pain. A friend encourages your dreams and offers advice--but when you don't follow it, they still respect and love you.(Doris Wild Helmering)
Teenagers go to college to be with their boyfriends and girlfriends they go because they can't think of anything else to do they go because their parents want them to and sometimes because their parents don't want them to they go to find themselves, or to find a husband, or to get away from home, and sometimes even to find out about the world in which they live.(Harold Howe II)
Blessed are they who have the gift of making friends, for it is one of God's best gifts. It involves many things, but above all, the power of going out of one's self, and appreciating whatever is noble and loving in another.(Thomas Hughes)
It seems to me that trying to live without friends is like milking a bear to get cream for your morning coffee. It is a whole lot of trouble, and then not worth much after you get it.(Zora Neale Hurston)
