Quotes of the Week - May 8, 2012:
"I wasn't supportive of his partying or his relationship with another
girl." -- Dita Von Teese, burlesque artist, on why her marriage
to rock star, Marilyn Manson, ended.
"I love British men's sense of humor and the sense of chivalry
and charm. It is something that is innately part of the culture. It's
not the same in America." --Cameron Diaz, actress.
"I counted that there were six girls in total. That does not seem
to me to be a considerable number. Numerous young women with whom I've
had sexual exchanges had the same age difference. Swinging sexual parties
are about having free and consentual sex." -- Dominique Strauss-Kahn,
former IMF chief, denying that young women only had sex with him for
money.

What do we live for, if it is not to make life
less difficult for each other?
George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans)
No man is useless while he has a friend.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
Kahlil Gibran
One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.
Euripides
Your friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes
you.
Elbert Hubbard
A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates
your success.
Doug Larson
A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world
walks out.
Walter Winchell
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends.
John Lennon and Paul McCartney
Love is rarer than genius itself. And friendship is rarer than
love.
Charles Peguy
It's the friends you can call up at 4:00 a.m. that matter.
Marlene Dietrich
A true friend unbosoms freely, advises justly, assists readily,
adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously,
and continues a friend unchangeably.
William Penn
Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born
until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new
world is born.
Anais Nin
Friends do not live in harmony merely, as some say, but in melody.
Henry David Thoreau
Friends, companions, lovers, are those who treat us in terms
of our unlimited worth to ourselves. They are closest to us
who best understand what life means to us, who feel for us as
we feel for ourselves, who are bound to us in triumph and disaster,
who break the spell of our loneliness.
Henry Alonzo Myers
Friendship, on the other hand, serves a great host of different
purposes all at the same time. In whatever direction you turn,
it still remains yours. No barrier can shut it out. It can never
be untimely; it can never be in the way. We need friendship
all the time, just as much as we need the proverbial prime necessities
of life, fire and water.
Cicero
Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of
a joy you must have somebody to divide it with.
Mark Twain
I keep my friends as misers do their treasure, because, of all
the things granted us by wisdom, none is greater or better than
friendship.
Pietro Aretino
I love you not only for who you are, but for what you are when
I am with you.
I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but
what you are making of me.
I love you because you have done more than any creed could have
done to make me good, and more than any fate could have done
to make me happy.
You have done it without a touch, without a word, without a
sign.
You have done it by being yourself. Perhaps that is what being
a friend means, after all.
Roy Croft
I want someone to laugh with me, someone to be grave with me,
someone to please me and help my discrimination with his or
her own remark, and at times, no doubt, to admire my acuteness
and penetration.
Robert Burns
It is that my friends have made the story of my life. In a thousand
ways they have turned my limitations into beautiful privileges,
and enabled me to walk serene and happy in the shadow cast by
my deprivation.
Helen Keller
Life is to be fortified by many friendships. To love and to
be loved is the greatest happiness of existence.
Sydney Smith
Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with
a person; having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words,
but to pour them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain
together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them,
keep what is worth keeping, and then, with a breath of kindness,
blow the rest away.
George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans)
One who looks for a friend without faults will have none.
Hasidic Saying
Only your real friends will tell you when your face is dirty.
Sicilian Proverb
The proper office of a friend is to side with you when you are
wrong. Nearly anybody will side with you when you are right.
Mark Twain
There can be no Friendship where there is no Freedom. Friendship
loves a free air, and will not be penned up in straight and
narrow enclosures. It will speak freely, and act so too; and
take nothing ill where no ill is meant; nay, where it is, 'twill
easily forgive, and forget too, upon small acknowledgements.
Friends are true twins in soul; they sympathise in everything.
One is not happy without the other, nor can either of them be
miserable alone. As if they could change bodies, they take in
turns in pain as well as in pleasure; relieving one another
in their most adverse conditions.
William Penn
There is nothing worth the wear of winning, but laughter and
the love of friends.
Hillaire Belloc
True friends stab you in the front.
Oscar Wilde
Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for
their labor.
For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe unto
him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to
help him up.
The Bible, Ecclesiastes 4. 9
Whatever you are it is your own friends who make your world.
William James
When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the 'nay' in your
own mind, nor do you withhold the 'ay.
And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his
heart;
For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires,
all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed.
When you part from your friend, you grieve not;
For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence,
as
the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.
Kahlil Gibran
I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort
of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.
Katherine Mansfield
A friend loveth at all times.
The Bible, Proverbs 17. 17 |
