More From Francois De La Rochefoucauld

Children are not deceived by fairy-tales; they are often and gravely deceived by school-stories. adults are not deceived by science-fiction ; they can be deceived by the stories in the women's magazines.

There is nothing more necessary than truth, and in comparison with it everything else has only secondary value. this absolute will to truth: what is it? is it the will to not allow ourselves to be deceived? is it the will not to deceive? one does not want to be deceived, under the supposition that it is injurious, dangerous, or fatal to be deceived.

Reuven listen to me. the talmud says that a person should do two things for himself. one is to acquire a teacher. do you remember the other." "choose a friend," i said. "yes. you know what a friend is, reuven? a greek philosopher said that two people who are true friends are like two bodies with one soul." i nodded. "reuven, if you can, make danny saunders your friend." "i like him a lot, abba." "no. listen to me. i am not talking about only liking him. i am telling you to make him your friend and to let him make you his friend.

A friend is more than a therapist or confessor, even though a friend can sometimes heal us and offer us god's forgiveness. a friend is that other person with whom we can share our solitude, our silence, and our prayer. a friend is that other person with whom we can look at a tree and say, "isn't that beautiful," or sit on the beach and silently watch the sun disappear under the horizon. with a friend we don't have to say or do something special. with a friend we can be still and know that god is there with both of us.
Beautiful Beach Prayer
When i was one-and-twenty i heard a wise man say, `give crowns and pounds and guineas but not your heart away; give pearls away and rubies but keep your fancy free.' but i was one-and-twenty no use to talk to me. when i was one-and-twenty i heard him say again, `the heart out of the bosom was never given in vain; 'tis paid with sighs a plenty and sold for endless rue.' and i am two-and-twenty and oh, 'tis true, 'tis true.
Wise Heart Men
A friend is more concerned about helping people than getting credit. a friend cares. a friend loves. a friend listens. and a friend reaches out.
