Heartwarming Quotes about Friendship

(source from www.dictionary.com )

The Chinese letter 人 means “human being”. The letter is from the hieroglyph of two humans leaning on each other. Figuratively and literally, humans can hardly live alone. Living in this incredibly connected world of instant messaging, emailing, and social networking, we might feel more lonesome than those in the old days when people were happy with snail mail and seeing one another only in the offline world. However, we can make the best use of today’s super fast-paced ways of contacting and greeting, can’t we? Even though it might not seem to have the old day’s romanticism, we can let our precious friends know how much we think of them at any time. Instant messaging does not have to mean instant love. This week, I would like to share many heartwarming quotes about true friendship.

7.   "Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life." ….Mark Twain

8.   "Don’t walk in front of me

 I may not lead

 just be my friend."……..Albert Camus

9.   "Stay is a charming word in a friend's vocabulary." …Amos Bronson Alcott

14.       “Sometimes you put walls up not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down.”…. Socrates


15.       “Friendship that insists on agreement on all matters is not worth the name. Friendship to be real must ever sustain the weight of honest differences, however sharp they be.”….Gandhi

On the Day of the New Beginning of My Home Country

  Opening the Door to My Strong Home Country by Jean Jiyoung Lee June 3 rd 2025   Let your long-lost inner light shine Wake up and stay woke from dark torpor Prayers for those in pain are yours and mine Heart-wrenching memories will stay where they were It will be all right to find yourself supine As long as you get up and go tomorrow as a warrior Pat on your back and be on cloud nine The wintry chill in the past would rather feel like warmer When upslopes batter your spirits down, just say you’ll be fine As you feel connected to your strength, curveballs are no longer a torture Now laugh out loud and give a smile so divine The moon rabbits would greet you back in your dreams tonight with rice cake from their mortar Blessing is another word for fine The bitter past was only a blessing in disguise ‘cause your new era will be a perfect restorer Raise your glass of wine Time to live your life on the solid anchor
