A amizade duplica as alegrias e divide as tristezas.

Para conseguir a amizade de uma pessoa digna é preciso desenvolvermos em nós mesmos as qualidades que naquela admiramos.

A amizade desenvolve a felicidade e reduz o sofrimento, duplicando a nossa alegria e dividindo a nossa dor.

A verdadeira amizade é aquela que nos permite falar, ao amigo, de todos os seus defeitos e de todas as nossas qualidades.

A amizade é uma predisposição recíproca que torna dois seres igualmente ciosos da felicidade um do outro.

A amizade é um meio de nos isolarmos da humanidade cultivando algumas pessoas.

A melhor maneira de começar uma amizade é com uma boa gargalhada. De terminar com ela, também.

A amizade é semelhante a um bom café; uma vez frio, não se aquece sem perder bastante do primeiro sabor.

A felicidade de um amigo deleita-nos. Enriquece-nos. Não nos tira nada. Caso a amizade sofra com isso, é porque não existe.

Como as plantas, a amizade não deve ser muito nem pouco regada.

Não há solidão mais triste do que a do homem sem amizades. A falta de amigos faz com que o mundo pareça um deserto.

As palavras de amizade e conforto podem ser curtas e sucintas, mas o seu eco é infindável.

A glória da amizade não é a mão estendida, nem o sorriso carinhoso, nem mesmo a delícia da companhia. É a inspiração espiritual que vem quando você descobre que alguém acredita e confia em você.

I've always been drawn to stories involving brothers, which started with my first viewing of Sean Penn's, 'The Indian Runner.' This subsequently lead to my working with my two brothers, Scott & Brad. I couldn't imagine a greater gift in the business.

Language is froth on the surface of thought.

I had seen 'Do the Right Thing' when I was at college, and it was incredibly inspiring as a piece of cinema. Just brilliant, I thought. But saw 'Malcolm X' with a crowded audience. It was my first time in an American cinema, hearing an audience respond. You know, in England, everyone is so restrained.

There's no way New Orleans will ever be the city it was. I think it will have half the population. They may create a sort of Disneyland at the French Quarter for tourists. The rest I don't know.

An American has not seen the United States until he has seen Mardi Gras in New Orleans.

Brain surgery couldn't happen without the patient's own active voice to guide the work. The patient is part of the surgical team here, perhaps the most important part, and above all, that's what makes neurosurgery different.
