Friendship

Friends are the sunshine of life.


A joy shared is a joy doubled.


Friendship is one mind in two bodies. Unknown Friends are the siblings God never gave us.


A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.

And a youth said, Speak to us of Friendship
And he answered saying:
Your friend is your needs answered.
He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.
And he is your board and your fireside.
For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.

Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends.


The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship.

Fear of Failure

Go back a little to leap further.


It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.

Half of the failures in life come from pulling one's horse when he is leaping.

I failed my way to success.

Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.

Happiness

When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.

Happiness does not consist in pastimes and amusements but in virtuous activities.

Happiness resides not in posessions and not in gold; the feeling of happiness dwells in the soul.
