Not all who demand your attention desire your happiness, many merely seeking a conveyance to their own. It is entirely easy when wrapped up with the petty to miss what is possible and what rows your ship to worthwhile dreams. But when two or more fall together to share the oars of what might be, dreams may find them in equal measure and as fast as the wake made. Tom Althouse
About This Quote

The best way to stay out of trouble is to know when to let things go. People with a lot of friends tend to have a lot of problems. That’s because they have a lot of people who want to hang out with them and they don’t always know when they should say no. But if you know the difference between people who want to be your friends and people who just want a ride, you’ll be able to keep yourself from being emotionally involved with people who don’t care about you.
