"The shortest way to get anywhere is..." - Quote by H Jackson Brown Jr

“Be kinder than necessary.”

“Remember that the biggest gap in the world is between 'I should' and 'I did.'”

“Spend your life lifting people up, not putting them down.”

“What is indispensable to inspiration? ...sound sleep and the provocation of a good book or a companion.”

“If it were not for guests all houses would be graves.”

“O' who will walk with me along lifes merry way? A comrade blithe and full of glee, who dares to laugh out loud and free.”

“Actually, I think you have to know that whatever advice you give, they may not take it. The priority should be on keeping the friendship rather than giving the best advice. Your best advice is usually, 'Walk away from him! Tell him you never want to see him again!' But if you are dealing with someone still in love, nothing you say can change their feelings. All you can do is be there for them and pick them up every time they get hurt. Until, that is, they are ready to move on for themselves.”

“If a man could mount to Heaven and survey the mighty universe, his admiration of its beauties would be much diminished unless he had someone to share in his pleasure.”

“They who dare to ask anything of a friend, by their very request seem to imply that they would do anything for the sake of that friend.”
