The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship.
There's a difference between good chemistry and a bond. Chemistry is something you have with somebody you meet - or you don't. It's an intangible. It may be superficial. It's much harder to put your finger on than a bond.
What most charms me [in America] is, that all the citizens are brethren.
Marie Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier
There are tragedies that happen all the time in America, but there are certain types of tragedies that kind of pull us together and make us pause and give us a chance to reflect about where we are, where we're going, and that sort of thing.
Society cannot exist without law. Law is the bond of society: that which makes it, that which preserves it and keeps it together. It is, in fact, the essence of civil society.
Forsooth, brethren, fellowship is heaven and lack of fellowship is hell; fellowship is life and lack of fellowship is death; and the deeds that ye do upon the earth, it is for fellowship's sake that ye do them.
Connection and connectedness are other words for community and communion.
The Faces are my old chums. We used to hang out.
The firmest friendship is based on an identity of likes and dislikes.
At Ford Motor Company, we believe the arts speak a common language that weaves a common thread among all people.
Language is the friendliest of the things from which we cannot escape.
Trying to explain what community is to someone who's never experienced it is like trying to explain what an artichoke tastes like.
I need to feel part of something.
We need to listen to one another.
Up come a flat top, he was movin' up with me.
Life was reduced to its four basic elements: air, food, drink, and a good friend.
There is no satisfaction in any good without a companion.
He who does not trust enough, Will not be trusted.
I do love standup. I love comedians. They're my community. Also, because I know so many of them, I know the value of them. I know what they can do.
I can't even think of the right word, but it's not "help." It's more like a prerequisite. I think connection is why we're here, it's what gives purpose and meaning to our lives, and belonging is in our DNA. And so "tribe" and "belonging" are irreducible needs, like love.
The nation is a community. Community of individuals, community of generations.
Friendship is a personal issue, and it should remain that way.
Having my friends close to me is always a pleasure, a great honour.
Friendship is something that is cultivated.
I believe that friendship is life's most precious and amazing gift and an incredibly powerful force.
