“One of the surest evidences of friendship that one individual can display to another is telling him gently of a fault. If any other can excel it, it is listening to such a disclosure with gratitude, and amending the error.”

“That the speech of self-disclosure should be translatable seems to me very odd, but I am convinced that it is. The conclusion that I draw is that the only quality which all human being without exception possess is uniqueness: any characteristic, on the other hand, which one individual can be recognized as having in common with another, like red hair or the English language, implies the existence of other individual qualities which this classification excludes.”

“And when (one with the highest excellence) does not wrangle (about his low position), no one finds fault with him.”

“A friend asks, "Tell me one word which is significant in any kinds of relationship." Another friend says, "LISTEN!”

“Showing gratitude is one of the simplest yet most powerful things humans can do for each other.”

“Because it can be deceived, the majority is as error-prone as any other ruler, but unlike other rulers, it can never be destroyed.”
