neighbors

In the field of world policy I would dedicate this nation to the policy of the good neighbor.

Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

When your neighbor's house is afire your own property is at stake.

We can live without our friends but not without our neighbors.

The crop always seems better in our neighbor's field and our neighbor's cow gives more milk.

The best way that a man could test his readiness to encounter the common variety of mankind would be to climb down a chimney into any house at random, and get on as well as possible with the people inside. And that is essentially what each one of us did on the day that he was born.

It was hard to disappear completely in Botswana, where there were fewer than two million people and where people had a healthy curiosity as to who was who and where people had come from. It was very difficult to be anonymous, even in Gaborone, as there would always be neighbours who would want to know exactly what one was doing and who one__ people had been.

Most employees don__ really want to be highly-paid; they just want to earn more than their peers, and, more importantly, more than their neighbours.

For few matters you need to be solo, for some matters you need soul mate and for many matters you need society,

During your struggle society is not a bunch of flowers, it is a bunch of cactus.

Worship Allah and associate nothing with Him, and to parents do good, and to relatives, orphans, the needy, the near neighbor, the neighbor farther away, the companion at your side, the traveler, and those whom your right hands possess (slaves). Indeed, Allah does not like those who are proud and boastful.[Al-Qur'an Surah Nisa 4:36]

It is easy to believe we are each waves and forget we are also the ocean.

While you were busy trying to prove God stands behind you, God was before me lighting the trail, so he could lead us both.

Neighbours complaining about someone__ dog making an awful racket. You could hardly blame the poor beast, its owner had died in her bed at least a fortnight before and there hadn__ been much left of the old girl worth eating.

There__ no experience quite like cutting your own live Christmas tree out of your neighbor__ yard.

People glorify all sorts of bravery except the bravery they might show on behalf of their nearest neighbors.

If more people understood how nice it is to have a sense of home that extends past our locked doors, past our neighbors' padlocks, to the local food co-op and library, the sidewalks busted up by old trees - if we all held home with longer arms - we'd live in a very different place...We wouldn't feel so alone, no matter the size of our houses or our bank accounts, no matter whether we had good health or congestive heart failure. We would begin to see that each moment presents an opportunity to relax, to notice that the wind has shifted and a storm is coming, or that our friend's toddler has decided to wear dinner instead of eating it. We would see that each minute counts for something timeless and, if we want, we all can find our way inside these big, tiny, moments.

Good neighbors always spy on you to make sure you are doing well.
