Quotes

"The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
-Psalm 34:17-18

"He takes loyalty and good faith as his first principles, and has no friends who are not up to his own standard."
-Analects, Book 1, Confucius

"Don't flatter yourself that friendship authorizes you to say disagreeable things to your intimates. The nearer you come into relation with a person, the more necessary do tact and courtesy become. Except in cases of necessity, which are rare, leave your friend to learn unpleasant things from his enemies; they are ready enough to tell them."
- Oliver Wendell Holmes

A wretched soul, bruised with adversity,
We bid be quiet when we hear it cry;
But were we burdened with like weight of pain,
As much or more we should ourselves complain.
- William Shakespeare

"The young do not love, though they think they do."
- Andreas the Chaplain

"This shows that women do better than men. They go to
hell they get sent back again"
- Folk saying

"A subculture of hard-nosed realism and hyper-rationality, in a world that claims as part of it's superiority its vigilant purging of all nonrational elements, and in which people carefully excise from their discourse every possible trace of soft sentimentality, as if purging dangerous nonsterile elements from a lab"
-Cohn, Defence Intellectuals.

"The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently"
-Nietzsche
