“I consider you the best friends anyone could ever imagine and wish for. I have been deeply fortunate to have you all in my life, and I will always be grateful for your sincere and generous friendship until the day I die. That’s why I’m not going to ask for your help at this crucial moment. Each one of you will have to decide what his or her honor, heart and soul dictate that they must do. I won’t judge you, I could never do that. Whatever happens, whichever side you support, whoever wins this horrible war, I’ll always be your friend.”
“You poor thing, she said. What are you talking about? he asked. She just hugged him tighter. She didn t want this moment to end. She didn t want to have to go. I just don t want the world to break you.”
“You can t please everyone around you, but try as much to appreciate those who deserve to be appreciated.”
“Funny how sometimes it s the people closest to us keeping us from happiness.”
“Will you please tell me you love me? I m dying here.”
“While shared values aren’t sufficient for friendship, friendship is impossible without shared values. In fact, one reason people are hurt by those they had considered friends is that friends are too often chosen without attention to their values.”
“One way to test whether you have chosen your friends wisely is to ask yourself why they are your friends. If your only answer is that you like them and they are fun to be with (certainly important components of friendship), you probably haven’t given consideration to their values. Or try this: what case could you make to people who have never met your friends to prove that your friends are good people?”
“You matter so much you re made of it.”
“Friend is always there to keep your head on opposite shoulder. Wife is there to take care of you beyond her life. Husband is there to value his wife by precious way. Children are your impression with advanced improvement. Love of life can only exist when you value it. This is the only family you can develop with true commitment. your kindness will sustain it & temperament will grow it. ignore unwanted things which you never thought about. live happily, let live happily. Never try to demean anything or anyone. You may not even understand the impact of it. Be nice and kind to everyone. You don’t have right to punish anyone without reason.”
“I must not be so bad if I have a friend like that.”
“Sometimes I worry you ll all realise I m ordinary, said the boy. Love doesn t need you to be extraordinary. said the mole.”
“The Paper and Hearts Society is for ever. It will always be with us, even when we re not together. For ever and always.”
“These kids sound like they re as obsessed with books as you are, and we need to surround ourselves with the people who are just as passionate about the things in life that we are. Take Mr. Helstone and his veg, for example. Now, there s a passionate man. He s made many friends at the local competitions he attends. Just goes to show: it s never too late to find your people.”
“Wanting to pay love with friendship is not to be afraid of ingratitude, but to be afraid of looking ungrateful.”
“People will laugh: with you, or at you. Your choice.”
“You choose someone out of the crowd and you call them your friend. Who was once a stranger is now a part of your heart. That’s called friendship.”
“After it happened I was at a loss for words. Haven t you said this yourself? Haven t you said this to a close friend who early in your friendship, when distracted, would call you by the name of her black housekeeper? You assumed you two were the only black people in her life. Eventually she stopped doing this, though she never acknowledged her slippage. And you never called her on it (why not?) and yet, you don t forget.”
