Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence.
Henry David Thoreau
Nothing goes by luck in composition. It allows of no tricks. The best you can write will be the best you are.
Henry David Thoreau
Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink, I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains. I would drink deeper; fish fill the sky, whose bottom is pebbly with stars. I cannot count one. I know not the first letter of the alphabet. I have always been regretting that I was not as wise as the day I was born.
Henry David Thoreau
As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.
Henry David Thoreau
Don't flatter yourself that friendship authorizes you to say disagreeable things to your intimates. The nearer you come into relation with a person, the more necessary do tact and courtesy become. Except in cases of necessity, which are rare, leave your friend to learn unpleasant things from his enemies; they are ready enough to tell them.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
It isn't kind to cultivate a friendship just so one will have an audience.
Lawana Blackwell
Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.
Elie Wiesel
Friendship should be more than biting time can sever.
T.S. Eliot
Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
Kahlil Gibran
A miracle is an act or event out of the order of nature and unaccountable, as beating a normal hand of four kings and an ace with four aces and a king.
Ambrose Bierce
Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations...entangling alliances with none.
Thomas Jefferson
Your friendship is a glowing ember through the year; and each December trom its warm and living spark We kindle flame against the dark and with its shining radiance light our tree of faith on Christmas night.
Anonymous
Friendship always benefits; love sometimes injures.
Seneca
Sweet is the scene where genial friendship plays, the pleasing game of interchanging praise.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
Even in the common affairs of life, in love, friendship, and marriage, how little security have we when we trust our happiness in the hands of others!
William Hazlitt
There can be no friendship where there is no freedom. Friendship loves a free air, and will not be fenced up in straight and narrow enclosures.
William Penn
Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is slow-ripening fruit.
Aristotle
The most fatal disease of friendship is gradual decay, or dislike hourly increased by causes too slender for complaint, and too numerous for removal.
Samuel Johnson
