Quotations that make me ponder

On Friendship

The shifts of Fortune test the reliability of friends. -Cicero (106 BC – 43 BC), De Amicitia

Have no friends not equal to yourself. -Confucius (551 BC – 479 BC), The Confucian Analects

Never explain–your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway. -Elbert Hubbard (1856 – 1915)

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.-George Washington (1732 – 1799)

Go through your phone book, call people and ask them to drive you to the airport. The ones who will drive you are your true friends. The rest aren’t bad people; they’re just acquaintances. -Jay Leno (1950 – )

In prosperity our friends know us; in adversity we know our friends.- John Churton Collins
