Charles Caleb Colton on friendship

We hate some persons because we do not know them; and we will not know them because we hate them.

If you cannot inspire a woman with love of you, fill her above the brim with love of herself; all that runs over will be yours.

Imitation is the sincerest of flattery.

Don’t walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don’t walk behind me, I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

Albert Camus1913–1960

In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

Martin Luther King Jr.1929–1968Martin Luther King, Jr., The Trumpet of Conscience, Steeler Lecture, November 1967.

Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, ‘What! You too? I thought I was the only one!’

C. S. Lewis1898–1963
