Freindship
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 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
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
An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.
Buddha
It's the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter.

The only way to have a friend is to be one.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.
Arnold H. Glasow
Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
When a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it.
Edward W. Howe
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
The real test of friendship is: can you literally do nothing with the other person? Can you enjoy those moments of life that are utterly simple?
Eugene Kennedy
Many a person has held close, throughout their entire lives, two friends that always remained strange to one another, because one of them attracted by virtue of similarity, the other by difference.
Emil Ludwig
Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.
Shirley MacLaine
True friends stab you in the front.
Oscar Wilde
I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better.
Plutarch
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.
Henri Nouwen
We call that person who has lost his father, an orphan; and a widower that man who has lost his wife. But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend, by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence.
Joseph Roux
Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.
Oprah Winfrey
Dreams
Dreams have only one owner at a time. That's why dreamers are lonely.
Erma Bombeck
It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else.
Erma Bombeck
All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
Walt Disney
Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly.
Langston Hughes
All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.
Thomas E. Lawrence
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Forgiveness
I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note - torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.
William Blake
Forgiveness is the final form of love.
Reinhold Niebuhr
It takes one person to forgive, it takes two people to be reunited.
Lewis B. Smedes
When we forgive evil we do not excuse it, we do not tolerate it, we do not smother it. We look the evil full in the face, call it what it is, let its horror shock and stun and enrage us, and only then do we forgive it.
Lewis B. Smedes
You will know that forgiveness has begun when you recall those who hurt you and feel the power to wish them well.
Lewis B. Smedes
Always forgive your enemies - nothing annoys them so much.
Oscar Wilde
It's far easier to forgive an enemy after you've got even with him.
Olin Miller
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
Mohandas Gandhi
Music
You can't stay the same. If you're a musician and a singer, you have to change, that's the way it works.
Van Morrison
Without music, life would be a mistake.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.
Bob Marley
There are more love songs than anything else. If songs could make you do something we'd all love one another.
Frank Zappa
In music the passions enjoy themselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it.
John Lennon
If a composer could say what he had to say in words he would not bother trying to say it in music.
Gustav Mahler
After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
Aldous Huxley
Music is well said to be the speech of angels.
Thomas Carlyle
It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature and everlasting beauty of monotony.
Benjamin Britten
Any good music must be an innovation.
Les Baxter
Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.
Maya Angelou
LIFE
All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.
Henry Ellis
In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.

Only a few things are really important.

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
Life is wasted on the living.
Douglas Adams
You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
