Friendship Quotes

Dragonfly

“In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”

Martin Luther King, Jr.


“Love your enemies just in case your friends turn out to be bastards.”


“Some people have a large circle of friends while others have only friends that they like”


“Friendship is like a glass ornament, once it is broken it can rarely be put back together exactly the same way.”


Friendship is held to be the severest test of character. It is easy, we think, to be loyal to a family and clan, whose blood is in your own veins. Love between a man and a woman is founded on the mating instinct and is not free from desire and self-seeking. But to have a friend and to be true under any and all trials is the mark of a man! (*or woman!)
Charles Alexander Eastman


“You never really know your friends from your enemies until the ice breaks”

Eskimo Proverb

Birthday Nov 17  
Languages English  
About Me Retired (aka unemployed) vegan, pagan, happily married mother of two grown sons. Working to create a sustainable lifestyle in rural AZ. We are building our own home (straw bale), and living as lightly on the land as possible. Rainwater harvesting, and solar power are two of our tools. As vegans ... we can also grow a lot of our own food. Wish us luck!

Wild Fact About Me Born in South Africa - so I also speak (some would say mangle) Afrikaans ... but it wasn't on the list.
My Philosophy Live lightly on the land, harm nothing.
What Gives Me Hope More and more people are adopting a plant-based lifestyle
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by Encourage everyone to go vegan - compassion for the least among us engenders compassion for all.
What/who changed my life and why The book/person that changed my life is "May All Be Fed: Diet for a New World" by John Robbins because it opened my eyes to the cruelty of factory farming and the basic sense of a vegan diet. A vegan diet fits well with the Wiccan crede ... "An it harm none, do as you will"
What Bugs Me hypocrisy, People whom do harm unto others, George Bush, People claiming friendship that are not!  
Passions LIFE!!!, nature, MY CHILDREN!!!, my husband  
Inspirations love  
What Scares Me Religious Extremism, current USA administration  
  Favorites

"I used to think that life was unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse, if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe." Marcus "Babylon 5"

"I think over again my small adventures
My fears, those small ones that seemed so big
For all the vital things I had to get and reach
And yet there is only one great thing
The only thing
To live to see the great day that dawns
And the light that fills the world."


- Unknown Inuit -

 

 ... another monday, a new week.
I wish you dear Friend, a perfect one
With Love

"We must protect the forests
for our children, grandchildren and
 children yet to be born.
We must protect the forests for those
 who can't speak for themselves
such as the birds, animals, fish and trees."

"The Beautiful Earth"

The glitening sun is shining
On the sparkling water,
The sparkling water is connecting
To the blue endless ocean
That is great and is as beautiful
As a bachelor button flower,
So simple and perfect 
Blue and red
Like the sunset sky
The glorious sunset
That brings peace
For me, for you, for all
That brings peace to Mother Earth!



... I wish you a weekend
full of peace my sweet friend
With Love
Ana

"If you have only two pennies
 left in the world,with the first penny
 you should buy rice to feed your family.
 With the second penny,
say the wise Japanese,
you should buy a lily.
The Japanese understand the importance
of dreaming..."
 
Japanese Proverb

Kindness to Animals

Little children, never give
Pain to things that feel and live
Let the gentle robin come
For the crumbs you save at home
As his meat you throw along
He’ll repay you with a song.
Never hurt the timid hare
Peeping from her green grass lair
Let her come and sport and play
On the lawn at close of day.
The little lark goes soaring high
To the bright windows of the sky
Singing as if t'were always spring
And fluttering on an untired wing
Oh! Let him sing his happy song
Nor do these gentle creatures wrong.



... and a blessed week sweet friend
With Love
Ana

"The Beautiful Earth"

The glistening sun is shining
On the sparkling water,
The sparkling water is
connecting
To the pretty ocean,
The pretty ocean
is as beautiful
As a bachelor button flower,
The bachelor
button flower is
yellow and blue
Like the sunset sky,
The sunset sky is giving
peace to the Earth!

Human Energy

When I give light
I also receive,
When I smile
I give light to others,
they give light to me.
It is with the light
all of us give, all,
that we are free.

Hugh Brown, gr 4, Red Wing, MN





... I wish you my friend a weekend full of light
With Love
Ana
