Quote by Francis Quarles

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun

Summary

This quote means that a genuine friendship cannot be maintained if it is based solely on achieving a particular goal or benefiting oneself. True friendship should be built on mutual trust, care, and respect for the other person, rather than being driven by a personal agenda. If a friendship is initiated solely for the purpose of achieving an end or obtaining something, it lacks the sincerity and selflessness necessary for long-lasting bonds. Genuine friendships are based on deeper connections and go beyond mere self-interest.

Marriage has a unique place because it speaks of an absolute faithfulness, a covenant between radically different persons, male and female and so it echoes the absolute covenant of God with his chosen, a covenant between radically different partners.

My ambition was to stop waiting tables. That was how I measured success: finally, I was able to stop waiting tables, and I was able to pay the rent, and that was by being a stand-up comic. Not a very good stand-up comic, but good enough to make a living.

The essence of the modern state is that the universal be bound up with the complete freedom of its particular members and with private well-being, that thus the interests of family and civil society must concentrate themselves on the state. It is only when both these moments subsist in their strength that the state can be regarded as articulated and genuinely organized.
