A man with no enemies is no good as a friend.
We need to be grateful for many things that didn't happen.
Friends should be like books, few, but hand-selected.
God created the world just like a knife and left it up to us to take it by the handle or the blade.
Absence is the enemy of love and the friend of friendship.
To love one's neighbor is a tough command. It works better for people who live far away.
