"Love, friendship and respect do not unite people as much as a common hatred for something." ― Anton Chekhov Topic(s): Friendship More From Anton Chekhov "Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice." "People don’t notice whether it’s winter or summer when they’re happy." "No matter how corrupt and unjust a convict may be, he loves fairness more than anything else. If the people placed over him are unfair, from year to year he lapses into an embittered state characterized by an extreme lack of faith." More In Friendship "Our church has been legal since late 1960s. I’ve been involved since 1972. I was ordained in 1975."― Sally Kirkland "Friendship is held to be the severest test of character."― Charles Eastman "It must be remembered that the sea is a great breeder of friendship. Two men who have known each other for twenty years find that twenty days at sea bring them nearer than ever they were before, or else estrange them."― Gilbert Parker
