"It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them." ― Confucius Topic(s): Friendship More From Confucius "Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated." "If we don’t know life, how can we know death?" "I will not be concerned at other men’s not knowing me;I will be concerned at my own want of ability." More In Friendship "I’m single, footloose and fancy free, I have no responsibilities, no anchors. Work, friendship and self-improvement, that’s me."― Joel Edgerton "Pity and friendship are two passions incompatible with each other."― Oliver Goldsmith "I have a loyalty that runs in my bloodstream, when I lock into someone or something, you can’t get me away from it because I commit that thoroughly. That’s in friendship, that’s a deal, that’s a commitment. Don’t give me paper – I can get the same lawyer who drew it up to break it. But if you shake my hand, that’s for life."― Jerry Lewis
