Favorite Quotations

Here are some of my favorite quotations concerning everyday life, friendship, faith, etc.
Friendship:
Michael Scott's philosophy on friendship: "Some people need dozens of friends to say, "Hey look
at me, I'm popular," but not me, I'm very picky; I need three maybe two. When you meet that someone special, you just know, because a real relationship can't be forced. It should come about effortlessly."
"It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Don't walk ahead of me, I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend."
Albert Camus
Christianity and Faith:
"Every day affirm: I am never alone. I can do my job well. With God's help I can succeed. I am a positive thinker and believer."
John Glossinger
"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else."
C. S. Lewis
"There are three answers to prayer: yes, no, and wait awhile. It must be recognized that no is an answer."

"Faith is to believe what you don't see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe."

Politics and War:
"The word 'politics' is derived from the word 'poly', meaning 'many', and 'ticks', meaning 'blood sucking parasites'.

My father-in-law :)
