"Think where man’s glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends." ― William Butler Yeats Topic(s): Friendship More From William Butler Yeats "Books are but waste paper unless we spend in action the wisdom we get from thought – asleep. When we are weary of the living, we may repair to the dead, who have nothing of peevishness, pride, or design in their conversation." "To be born woman is to know – although they do not speak of it at school – women must labor to be beautiful." "One should not lose one’s temper unless one is certain of getting more and more angry to the end." More In Friendship "So far as it depends on the course of this government, our relations of good will and friendship will be sedulously cultivated with all nations."― John Tyler "Our character is not so much the product of race and heredity as of those circumstances by which nature forms our habits, by which we are nurtured and live."― Marcus Tullius Cicero "Nature abhors annihilation."― Marcus Tullius Cicero
