I've got some great guy friends. They can start out as crushes. But when you realize something isn't going to happen you make a choice whether or not the friendship is worth it. And it usually is. Then you can laugh about the fact that you used to have a crush on him or he had one on you.
Do not keep on with a mockery of friendship after the substance is gone - but part while you can part friends. Bury the carcass of friendship: it is not worth embalming.
No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each other's worth.
It seems to me that trying to live without friends is like milking a bear to get cream for your morning coffee. It is a whole lot of trouble and then not worth much after you get it.
Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends never lose a chance to make them.
Government has the role of suiting people for freedom. People aren't made for freedom spontaneously. There's sort of a 19-year race between when people are born and when they become adults. And government has a role in making them at the end of 19 years suited to be upright trustworthy repositories of popular sovereignty.
Freedom is secured every day by our men and women in uniform. We must build a future worthy of their sacrifice.
The best way to enhance freedom in other lands is to demonstrate here that our democratic system is worthy of emulation.
Many politicians are in the habit of laying it down as a self-evident proposition that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom. The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story who resolved not to go into the water till he had learned to swim.
The liberties of our country the freedom of our civil constitution are worth defending against all hazards: And it is our duty to defend them against all attacks.
