"Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity." ― Charles Caleb Colton Topic(s): Friendship More From Charles Caleb Colton "In religion as in politics it so happens that we have less charity for those who believe half our creed, than for those who deny the whole of it." "To dare to live alone is the rarest courage; since there are many who had rather meet their bitterest enemy in the field, than their own hearts in their closet." "Constant success shows us but one side of the world; adversity brings out the reverse of the picture." More In Friendship "One’s friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human."― George Santayana "Virtue is a habit of the mind, consistent with nature and moderation and reason."― Marcus Tullius Cicero "Friendship based solely upon gratitude is like a photograph; with time it fades."― Carmen Sylva
