A part of you has grown in me. And so you see, it's you and me together forever and never apart, maybe in distance, but never in heart

It is a bad world, Donatus, an incredibly bad world. But I have discovered in the midst of it a quiet and good people who have learned the great secret of life. They have found a joy and wisdom which is a thousand times better than any of the pleasures of our sinful life. They are despised and persecuted, but they care not. They are masters of their souls. They have overcome the world. These people, Donatus, are Christians. . . and I am one of them.

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

Not every father gets a chance to start his son off in his own footsteps.

Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.

Giving your son a skill is better than giving him one thousand pieces of gold.

It is better to be alone than in bad company.
