15 Funny quotes on friendship that’ll raise a smile

12/06/2021 by Roy Sutton

If you’re lucky enough to have one good friend then you are richer than you imagine and if you have two then you’re truly blessed.

Friendship is a relationship of equals.

Real friends are people with whom you have a lot in common, especially when it comes to things that make you laugh and those times when you enjoy getting silly.

True friends are people who know all your faults but accept you as you are anyway.

Not everyone with whom you have a friendly relationship is a true friend. Some people are just very good acquaintances.

A real friend is someone you could phone at 3 am when you’re in trouble and know they’d be out to help you in a heartbeat.

Such people are worth their weight in gold and you should never take them for granted. They’re special and you should appreciate them being in your life because not everyone is quite so lucky.

Here are 15 funny quotes on friendship that for me touch on the very essence of what it all means.

Funny quotes on friendship:

Friends are the chocolate chips in the cookie of life!
Friends buy you food. Best friends eat your food.
Friends come and go, but enemies remain and build up.
When our phones fall, we panic. When our friends fall, we laugh.
If you have crazy friends you have everything you’ll ever need.
Never let your best friends get lonely. Keep disturbing them.
You have a problem when your imaginary friend thinks he has a problem.
There’s nothing better than a good friend, except for a good friend with chocolate.
Friends come and go, like waves on the ocean, but the true friends stay like an octopus on your face.
A best friend is like a four-leaf clover, hard to find, but you’re lucky if you have one.
Laughing is one of the best exercises. It’s like running inside your mind. You can do it almost anywhere and it’s even better with a friend.
I’d walk through fire for my best friend. Well, not fire because that’s dangerous, but a super humid room. Well not too humid, because you know, my hair.
I love making friends. I usually prefer to make them out of plaster and give them funny-looking hats.
Dear Diamond, we all know who is really a girl’s best friend. Sincerely yours, Chocolate Cake.
I hope we’re good friends until we die, then I hope we can stay ghost friends, walk through walls and scare people.

21 quotes about relationships to enlighten you a little

12/02/2021 by Roy Sutton

People! We can’t live with them but we can’t live without them either.

While they can be frustrating we are social animals, so we need people and relationships.

The more we understand about relationships the more likely we’ll be in a position to form and sustain successful relationships.

Hence today’s blog post with 21 thought-provoking quotes about relationships to help you ponder and improve your understanding of one of life’s trickier aspects.

Now some people struggle to form successful relationships, whilst others seem to enjoy perfect relationships all the time. Well, don’t be fooled by appearances.

All relationships can be tricky because we all have this romantic notion about what the perfect relationship should look like. That notion may be romantic but it’s also inaccurate.

Perfect relationships don’t exist.

Consequently, relationships take time, effort and compromise. We must work at them constantly to keep them healthy and beneficial.

Furthermore, we must recognise that for a relationship to work it must be balanced. The dynamics within the relationship must be in equilibrium.

By that, I mean that within any relationship both parties must feel their needs are being met.

Where the dynamic within a relationship favours one side or the other then this breeds resentment and frustration. That in turn results in friction and disharmony within the relationship, which can be damaging of course.

No one can have it all their own way all the time. Compromise is essential.

However, compromise shouldn’t be to the point whereby you’re actively working against your own interests.

It would never make sense to do anything that works against our own interests. If we don’t look after our own interests, then no one else will.

So here are those 21 thought-provoking quotes about relationships, I hope you find them interesting, dear reader.

Quotes about relationships (1-13):

A dame that knows the ropes isn’t likely to get tied up. ~Mae West
When you don’t talk, there’s a lot of stuff that ends up not getting said. ~Catherine Gilbert Murdock
When you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can like them for who they are. ~Donald Miller
The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much and forgetting that you are special too. ~Ernest Hemingway
For there to be betrayal, there would have to have been trust first. ~Suzanne Collins
Cheating and lying aren’t struggles; they’re reasons to break up. ~Patti Callahan Henry
I suffer from girl-next-door-itis where the guy is friends with you and that’s it. ~Taylor Swift
I want to be in a relationship where you telling me you love me is just a ceremonious validation of what you already show me. ~Steve Maraboli
Relationships don’t always make sense, especially from the outside. ~Sarah Dessen
Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright dislike. ~JK Rowling
It’s no good pretending that any relationship has a future if your record collections disagree violently or if your favourite films wouldn’t even speak to each other if they met at a party. ~Nick Hornby
The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed. ~CG Jung
There is greatness in doing something you hate for the sake of someone you love. ~Shmuley Boteach

Quotes about relationships (14-21):

Every couple needs to argue now and then. Just to prove that the relationship is strong enough to survive. Long-term relationships, the ones that matter, are all about weathering the peaks and the valleys. ~Nicholas Sparks
I know enough to know that no woman should ever marry a man who hated his mother. ~Martha Gellhorn
People like to say love is unconditional, but it’s not, and even if it was unconditional, it’s still never free. There’s always an expectation attached. They always want something in return. Like they want you to be happy or whatever and that makes you automatically responsible for their happiness because they won’t be happy unless you are. I just don’t want that responsibility. ~Katja Millay
To say that one waits a lifetime for his soulmate to come around is a paradox. People eventually get sick of waiting, take a chance on someone and by the art of commitment become soulmates, which takes a lifetime to perfect. ~Criss Jami
Every couple have their ups and downs, every couple argues and that’s the thing; you’re a couple and couples can’t function without trust. ~Nicholas Sparks
If a girl starts out all casual with a guy and she doesn’t tell him that she wants a relationship, it will never become a relationship. If you give the guy the impression that casual is okay with you, then that’s all he’ll ever want. Be straight with him from the start. If he gets scared and runs away, he wasn’t right for you. ~Susane Colasanti
Women cannot complain about men anymore until they start getting better taste in them. ~Bill Maher
What we wait around a lifetime for with one person, we can find in a moment with someone else. ~Stephanie Klein

5 philosophical quotes about getting old

11/30/2021 by Roy Sutton

Many people worry themselves silly when they think about getting old. However let’s face it, getting old is better than the alternative, isn’t it?

Yes, as we get older we get more aches and pains and we slow down a little. That’s natural. However, for me, the idea of getting old is really just a state of mind.

And what do I mean by that statement?

Well, we’re all getting older every minute of every day but do we have to get old? I think it’s all down to our personal philosophy.

By that I mean, it’s all down to how we choose to look at things. As long as we can retain enthusiasm for life and embrace all things new then we’re not old at all, in my opinion. Older yes, but not old.

Old is when you’ve had enough of life and you’re ready to embrace the Grim Reaper.

And I hope for you dear reader that will be a long, long way off.

In the meantime, here are 5 philosophical quotes about getting old to help you put it all into perspective.

Philosophical quotes about getting old:

Anyone who stops learning is old, whether twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young. ~Henry Ford

We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing. ~George Bernard Shaw

Middle age is when you’re sitting at home on a Saturday night and the telephone rings and you hope it isn’t for you. ~Ogden Nash

The old believe everything: the middle-aged suspect everything: the young know everything. ~Oscar Wilde

I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will not ask, ‘How many good things have you done in your life?’ rather he will ask, ‘How much love did you put into what you did?’ ~Mother Teresa

I was married. My husband cheated on me left and right. He made me feel like I was crazy all the time. One day he tells me it’s my fault he saw other women. So I picked up a knife and told him it was his fault I was stabbing him. Yeah, I did a little jail time but it was worth it. ~Living Out Loud (1998)
There’s no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you’ll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane? ~Airplane! (1980)
