Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Give a man a poisoned fish, you feed him for the rest of his life.

It's not about who is real to your face. It's about who stays real behind your back.

A man never stands as tall as when he kneels to help a child.

Only one thing’s sadder than remembering you were once free, and that’s forgetting you were once free.

If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile. But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me.

But one, the lofty follower of the Sun, Sad when he sets, shuts up her yellow leaves Drooping all night; and, when he warm returns, Points her enamoured bosom to his ray.

A good friend is like a four-leaf clover; hard to find and lucky to have.
