Quote by Elbert Hubbard

Friendship, like credit, is highest when it is not used.

Friendship, like credit, is highest when it is not used.

Summary

This quote suggests that true friendship and credit are at their best when they are dormant or not actively being relied upon. Just as credit should be used responsibly and sparingly to maintain a good financial standing, friendship should not be taken advantage of or constantly relied upon for personal gain. True friendship, like credit, is most valuable when it is not constantly used or exploited, allowing it to maintain its worth and authenticity.

I do believe that, where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence....I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honour than that she should, in a cowardly manner, become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonour.But I believe that nonviolence is infinitely superior to violence, forgiveness is more manly than punishment. Forgiveness adorns a soldier...But abstinence is forgiveness only when there is the power to punish; it is meaningless when it pretends to proceed from a helpless creature....But I do not believe India to be helpless....I do not believe myself to be a helpless creature....Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

You are my brother and I love you. I love you worshipping in your church, kneeling in your temple, and praying in your mosque.
