A man will speedily sit down and sympathize with a friend's griefs, but if he sees him honored and esteemed, he is apt to regard him as a rival and does not so readily rejoice with him. This ought not to be; without effort, we ought to be happy in our brother's happiness.

A brother who is unhappy is a dangerous relative to have.

If thy brother wrongs thee, remember not so much his wrong-doing, but more than ever that he is thy brother.

For the last half of my life I have had the doubtful benefit of a brother whose literary reputation is much greater than my own.

Religion and gods and beliefs - for me, it all comes down to your brother. And your brother might be the brother in your family, or it might be the guy next to you in the foxhole - it's about human connections.

I wish my brother well. We agree to disagree, but he is a good man. He is my brother.

A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

I believe that we must reach our brother, never toning down our fundamental oppositions, but meeting him when he asks to be met, with a reason for the faith that is in us, as well as with a loving sympathy for them as brothers.

A sympathetic friend can be quite as dear as a brother.

With brothers you become friends. Some you hang out with more than others. You talk to one about the other a little more. You get mad at them. Then, you love them. Then, you apologize. You have to apologize whether you want to or not. You have to. That's your brother.
