He who has resolved to conquer or die is seldom conquered; such noble despair perishes with difficulty.

Pierre Corneille

A major difficulty in translation is that a word in one language seldom has a precise equivalent in another one.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Friendship, "the wine of life," should, like a well-stocked cellar, be continually renewed; and it is consolatory to think, that although we can seldom add what will equal the generous first growths of our youth, yet friendship becomes insensibly old in much less time than is commonly imagined, and not many years are required to make it mellow and pleasant.

James Boswell

Why is it that we remember with difficulty and without difficulty forget? Learn with difficulty and without difficulty remain ignorant?

Saint Augustine

Religion consists much in holy affection; but those exercises of affection which are most distinguishing of true religion are these practical exercises. Friendship between earthly friends consists much in affection; but those strong exercises of affection that actually carry them through fire and water for each other are the highest evidences of true friendship.

Jonathan Edwards

True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.

Charles Caleb Colton

Friendship is seldom lasting but between equals, or where the superiority on one side is reduced by some equivalent advantage on the other.

Samuel Johnson

Friendship is cemented by interest, vanity, or the want of amusement; it seldom implies esteem, or even mutual regard.

William Hazlitt

Holy Week is a privileged time when we are called to draw near to Jesus: friendship with him is shown in times of difficulty.

Pope Francis

We can solve many problems in an appropriate way, without any difficulty, if we cultivate harmony, friendship and respect for one another.

Dalai Lama

There are three friendships which are advantageous, and three which are injurious. Friendship with the upright; friendship with the sincere; and friendship with the man of much observation: these are advantageous. Friendship with the man of specious airs; friendship with the insinuatingly soft; and friendship with the glib-tongued: these are injurious.

Confucius

A Louisiana politician can't afford to let his animosities carry him away, and still less his principles, although there is seldom difficulty in that department.

A. J. Liebling

When two persons open up to each other just as they are, friendship grows. When two persons are ready to drop their masks, they have taken a tremendous step towards religiousness. So love, friendship, anything that helps you to drop the mask, is taking you towards religion. But the pseudo-religions have done just the opposite. They are against love. You can understand now, why they are against love: because love will destroy the personality, and the pseudo-religion depends on your personality.

Rajneesh

Friendship increases in visiting friends, but in visiting them seldom.

Francis Bacon

The difficulty in living our religion is when we haven't totally made the commitment necessary.

LaVell Edwards

Seldom, very seldom, does complete truth belong to any human disclosure; seldom can it happen that something is not a little disguised, or a little mistaken.

Jane Austen
