Some quotes
Friendships multiply joys, and divide griefs.
Blessed is the person who has learned to admire but not envy,
to follow but not imitate,
to praise but not flatter, and to lead but not manipulate.
All of the gold in the world cannot buy a friend, character, peace of mind,
or a clear conscience.
Worry doesn't empty tomorrow of its sorrow;
it empties today of its strength.
