Your friends are a reflection of you.

There is also the professional mentor, a person whose success in his or her career can be a source of practical wisdom and inspiration. This success might be mea sured in material gain or far-reaching influence, or in lives touched and relationships fostered. These mentors can offer a model for good business, ethical practices, and effective work habits, and they often provide the motivation we need to seize whatever opportunities come our way.

Good values are like a magnet, they attract good people.

If I have been able to see further, it was only because I stood on the shoulders of giants. SIR ISAAC NEWTON

It's not the men in your life that matters, it's the life in your men.

Chose your friends with caution, plan your future with purpose, and frame your life with faith.

To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child. For what is the worth of human life, unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the records of history?

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few.

The beauty of enmity is insecurity; the beauty of friendship is in security.

No one is much pleased with a companion who does not increase, in some respect, their fondness for themselves.

Books help us understand who we are and how we are to behave. They show us what community and friendship mean; they show us how to live and die.

Choose your friends carefully, for you will tend to be like them and be found where they choose to go.
