Quote by Robert Hall

“Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.”

“We call that person who has lost his father, an orphan; and a widower that man who has lost his wife. But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend, by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence.”

“Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.”

“Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.”

“Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.”

“Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.”
