"Friends are seldom found; they are made...." - Quote by C S Lewis

“It doesn't really matter whether you grip the arms of the dentist's chair or let your hands lie in your lap. The drill drills on.”

“..(T)here are two opposite reasons for being a democrat. You may think all men so good that they deserve a share in the government of the commonwealth, and so wise that the commonwealth needs their advice. That is, in my opinion, the false, romantic doctrine of democracy. On the other hand, you may believe fallen men to be so wicked that not one of them can be trusted with any irresponsible power over his fellows.”

“I can't imagine a man really enjoying a book and reading it only once.”

“He was a great patriot, a humanitarian, a loyal friend; provided, of course, he really is dead.”

“Our actual Friends are but distant relations of those to whom we are pledged.”

“If a man withdraws his mind from the love of beauty, and applies it as sincerely to the love of the virtuous; if, in serving his parents, he can exert his utmost strength; if, in serving his prince, he can devote his life; if in his intercourse with his friends, his words are sincere - although men say that he has not learned, I will certainly say that he has.”

“Become a better person and be sure to know who you are, before meeting someone new and hoping that person knows who you are”

“A bore is someone who takes away my solitude and doesn't give me companionship in return.”

“You get to know someone better by playing for an hour than by talking for a year.”
