Spend time with people who enrich your mind, nourish your heart, and illuminate your soul.

Behind you, leave your enemies. Beside you, keep your family. Around you, maintain your friends. Within you, treasure God.

It is wise to buy acquaintances, but foolish to buy friends.

A flower takes a while to grow, but can die in an instant; this is how it is with trust.

Leave beauty marks in the lives of those you meet, not scars.

It is better to help an enemy than to harm a friend.

Time is your acquaintance. Life is your friend. Death is your opponent. Eternity is your companion.

A shrewd enemy will teach you more than a foolish friend.

Worry makes you weaker, regret makes you sadder, hate makes you angrier, but hope makes you stronger, and love makes you happier.
