  • Friendship is not possible between two women, one of whom is very well dressed.
        Laurie Colwin   Best?
  • My husband said he wanted to have a relationship with a redhead, so I dyed my hair.
        Jane Fonda   Best?
  • I believe in courtesy, in kindness, in generosity, in good cheer, in friendship and in honest competition. I believe there is something doing somewhere, for every man ready to do it. I believe I'm ready, RIGHT NOW.
        Elbert Hubbard   Best?
  • Familiarity may breed contempt in some areas of human behavior, but in the field of social ideas it is the touchstone of acceptability.
        J. William Galbraith   Best?
  • Words learned by rote a parrot may rehearse; but talking is not always to converse, not more distinct from harmony divine, the constant creaking of a country sign.
        William Cowper   Best?
  • All science is concerned with the relationship of cause and effect. Each scientific discovery increases man's ability to predict the consequences of his actions and thus his ability to control future events.
        Lawrence J. Peters   Best?
  • Religion holds the solution to all problems of human relationship, whether they are between parents and children or nation and nation. Sooner or later, man has always had to decide whether he worships his own power or the power of God.
        A. J. Toynbee   Best?
  • Blaise Pascal used to mark with charcoal the walls of his playroom, seeking a means of making a circle perfectly round and a triangle whose sides and angle were all equal. He discovered these things for himself and then began to seek the relationship which existed between them. He did not know any mathematical terms and so he made up his own. Using these names he made axioms and finally developed perfect demonstrations, until he had come to the thirty-second proposition of Euclid.
        C. M. Cox   Best?
  • Love is an alliance of friendship and animalism; if the former predominates it is passion exalted and refined; if the latter, gross and sensual.
        Charles Caleb Colton   Best?
  • Friendship is a living thing that lasts only as long as it is nourished with kindness, empathy and understanding.
        Muriel Strode   Best?
  • There is only one way in which a person acquires a new idea; by combination or association of two or more ideas he already has into a new juxtaposition in such a manner as to discover a relationship among them of which he was not previously aware.
        Francis A. Carter   Best?
  • Friendship is love with understanding.
        Muriel Strode   Best?
  • The wise man does not permit himself to set up even in his own mind any comparisons of his friends. His friendship is capable of going to extremes with many people, evoked as it is by many qualities.
        Charles Dudley Warner   Best?
  • Friends need not agree in everything or go always together, or have no comparable other friendships of the same intimacy. On the contrary, in friendship union is more about ideal things: and in that sense it is more ideal and less subject to trouble than marriage is.
        George Santayana   Best?
  • Friendship will not stand the strain of very much good advice for very long.
        Robert Lynd   Best?
  • Human beings are born into this little span of life of which the best thing is its friendship and intimacies, and soon their places will know them no more, and yet they leave their friendships and intimacies with no cultivation, to grow as they will by the roadside, expecting them to "keep" by force of inertia.
        William James   Best?
  • True friendship is like sound health, the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.
        Charles Caleb Colton   Best?
  • Flattery looks like friendship, just like a wolf looks like a dog.
        Muriel Strode   Best?
  • Books, like proverbs, receive their chief value from the stamp and esteem of the ages through which they have passed
        Sir W. Temple   Best?
  • A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.
        John D. Rockefeller Jr.   Best?
  • Friendship improves happiness, and abates misery, by doubling our joys, and dividing our grief.
        Joseph Addison   Best?
  • The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a glowing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing, it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of Divine accident.
        Sir Hugh Walpole   Best?
  • Marriage is the alliance of two people, one of whom never remembers birthdays and the other never forgets them.
        Ogden Nash   Best?
  • 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 grow, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.
        George Washington   Best?
  • One must marry one's feelings to one's beliefs and ideas. That is probably the only way to achieve a measure of harmony in one's life.
        Etty Hillesum   Best?
  • The essence of true friendship is to make allowances for another's little lapses.
        David Storey   Best?
  • In my day, we didn't have self-esteem, we had self-respect, and no more of it than we had earned.
        Jane Haddam   Best?
  • 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   Best?
  • One man may hit the mark, another blunder; but heed not these distinctions. Only from the alliance of the one, working with and through the other, are great things born.
        Antoine de Saint-Exupery   Best?
  • Let tears flow of their own accord: their flowing is not inconsistent with inward peace and harmony.
        Seneca   Best?
