"Your friends may love you in private..." - Quote by Mark Twain

“A little lie can travel half way 'round the world while Truth is still lacing up her boots.”

“Civilization largely consists in hiding human nature. When the barbarian learns to hide it we account him enlightened.”

“Each of you, for himself, by himself and on his own responsibility, must speak.”

“Falling in love isn't as easy as it seems when you've seen love crash and burn right in front of your eyes.”

“I used to date a girl from Buffalo. Why can't I meet a girl with normal parents?”

“What you feel is wrong or missing in your relationships is an indication that something is amiss within you.”

“We are more pained when one of our friends is guilty of something shameful than when we do it ourselves.”

“When a friend calls to me from the road And slows his horse to a meaning walk, I don't stand still and look around On all the hills I haven't hoed, And shout from where I am, What is it? No, not as there is a time to talk. I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground, Blade-end up and five feet tall, And plod: I go up to the stone wall For a friendly visit.”

“We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and private: and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship.”
