A brother who is unhappy is a dangerous relative to have.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When you have brothers, you learn to be fiercely competitive with someone you love so they won't kill you and you won't kill them.
A sympathetic friend can be quite as dear as a brother.
A brother who recognizes that we have shortcomings, we, in the struggle, have faults, and that he wanted to reconcile differences.
If you like your brother and he's prospering, you'll be pleased for him.
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.
He who is overly attached to his family members experiences fear and sorrow, for the root of all grief is attachment. Thus one should discard attachment to be happy.
Sibling relationships are complicated. All family relationships are. Look at Hamlet.
I had older brothers, and I don't think there's anything worse than an older brother. They pretty much told me the end of everything they got to see before I did.
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.
