Famous quotes containing the word friends:
“thanks to my friends for their care in my breeding,
Who taught me betimes to love working and reading.””
—Isaac Watts (1674–1748)
“We must take our friends as they are.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
“I am asked if I would not be gratified if my friends would procure me promotion to a brigadier-generalship. My feeling is that I would rather be one of the good colonels than one of the poor generals. The colonel of a regiment has one of the most agreeable positions in the service, and one of the most useful. “A good colonel makes a good regiment,” is an axiom.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
