Famous quotes containing the word friend:
“I have seen some who did not know when to turn aside their eyes in meeting yours. A truly confident and magnanimous spirit is wiser than to contend for the mastery in such encounters. Serpents alone conquer by the steadiness of their gaze. My friend looks me in the face and sees me, that is all.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“She is such a good friend that she would throw all her acquaintances into the water for the pleasure of fishing them out again.”
