“Do you want to set up the meeting? Are they friends of yours?”

“If you want enemies, excel your friends; but if you want friends, let your friends excel you.”

“When you're up against a trouble,
Meet it squarely, face to face;
Lift your chin and set your shoulders,
Plant your feet and take a brace.
When it's vain to try to dodge it,
Do the best that you can do;
You may fail, but you may conquer,
See it through!”

“Why have you chosen to spare me?”
“I want us to be…what is your word? Friends.”
“Psychotic rapists don’t have friends.”
“I was unaware you were a psychotic rapist or I would not have offered.”
“Ha.” I’d set myself up for that one.”

“You meet people who forget you. You forget people you meet. But sometimes you meet those people you can't forget. Those are your 'friends”

“Your only limitations are those you set up in your mind, or permit others to set up for you.”

“Come as you are, as you were
As I want you to be
As a trend, as a friend, as a known enemy
Take your time, hurry up
The choice is yours, don't be late.”

“Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years.”

“Do I want you to talk to me, old friend? Do I need your reminders, your wry confirmation that faith is for fools?”

“All your life, you’ll meet people that only want to break you down. Forget them, stand strong with the people who build you up.”
