Lines By Kunou, Second Student, Peace through excessive flattery:

The true definition of a friend is: "A person who WILL stand by thee, even when they SHOULD not, and who SHOULD tell thee when thou art wrong, but WILL not." If life gives thee lemons, make lemonade. If it gives thee a maniac with a gun, RUN! Cry, and the world cries with thee. Laugh, and someone will sue thee. How we live is important; it fills the time between birth and death. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
