True friends stab you in the front.
Think where man's glory most begins and ends and say my glory was I had such friends.
A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil but it needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small silly presents every so often - just to save it from drying out completely.
One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.
Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship you really haven't learned anything.
If freedom's best friends cannot unify around a realistic actionable program of fundamental change one that attracts and persuades a broad majority of our fellow citizens big change will not come.
That's free enterprise friends: freedom to gamble freedom to lose. And the great thing - the truly democratic thing about it - is that you don't even have to be a player to lose.
Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is.
End-of-the-world stories tend to ring true. I've always been drawn to them but as I wrote my own I found surprising pleasure in creating a world that is so radically changed yet where there's so much meaning and value in every small and ordinary thing we have and take for granted: hot showers enough food friends routines.
I grew up playing music and enjoying good food friends and family in my own backyard.
My friends gave me the first songs which was the first food in my soul for me.
When I wrote 'Fast Food My Way' in 2004 I hoped that my friends would prepare my recipes. Now more people cook from that book than any other I've written in the past 30 years.
I don't have a dime left. I am dependent on my friends for food and a small old-age pension.
I'd like to be rich. I'd like a lot of money to put into my physicals and to buy food for all my friends.
It's easy to impress me. I don't need a fancy party to be happy. Just good friends good food and good laughs. I'm happy. I'm satisfied. I'm content.
I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success... such emotions make a man forget food sleep friends love everything.
When I eat with my friends it is a moment of real pleasure when I really enjoy my life.
I said to my friends that if I was going to starve I might as well starve where the food is good.
Animals are my friends... and I don't eat my friends.
My fitness trainer's English my physio's English some of my friends are English. I don't have a problem with English people at all.
The more anxious isolated and time-deprived we are the more likely we are to turn to paid personal services. To finance these extra services we work longer hours. This leaves less time to spend with family friends and neighbors we become less likely to call on them for help and they on us.
As one who participated in all the wars of the state of Israel I saw the horror of wars. I saw the fear of wars. I saw my best friends being killed in battles. I was seriously injured twice.
I began to fear that Mos Def was being treated as a product not a person so I've been going by Yasiin since '99. At first it was just for friends and family but now I'm declaring it openly.
The more I traveled the more I realized that fear makes strangers of people who should be friends.
