"Friends should be preferred to kings...." - Quote by Voltaire

“The necessity of saying something, the embarrassment produced by the consciousness of having nothing to say, and the desire to exhibit ability, are three things sufficient to render even a great man ridiculous.”

“We look to Scotland for all our ideas of civilisation.”

“Anything too stupid to be said is sung.”

“We must be ever on the search for some persons whom we shall love and who will love us in return. If good will and affection are taken away, every joy is taken from life.”

“True friends never apart maybe in distance but never in heart”

“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.”

“Come, Mr. Frodo!' he cried. 'I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you.”

“The trouble is not in dying for a friend, but in finding a friend worth dying for.”

“Bring me a constant woman to her husband, One that ne'er dream'd a joy beyond his pleasure, And to that woman, when she has done most, Yet will I add an honour-a great patience.”
