Friendship improves happiness and abates misery by doubling our joy and dividing our grief.

To lose a friend is the greatest of all losses.

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.

Hatred is a commodity I couldn't afford in prison. Too expensive then. Too expensive now... I couldn't live every day with that stuff bubbling up inside me.... Gage taught me that. He found me in a bad place. Picked me up. Showed me I had a choice. I couldn't change my circumstances, but I had a lot to say about who I was in the midst of them. And who I became. Gage helped me, showed me, how to lay it down.

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being.

It's almost impossible to live the right life when you have the wrong friends.

Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

What a difference having a friend makes.

Your friends will determine the quality and direction of your life.
