“Far better a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.”
Bible
“Make happy those who are near, and those who are far will come”
Chinese Proverbs
“Better a near neighbour than a distant cousin.”
Italian Proverb
“Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath the LORD answered? and, What hath the LORD spoken? / And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man's word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.”
“It is grossly selfish to require of one's neighbour that he should think in the same way, and hold the same opinions. Why should he? If he can think, he will probably think differently. If he cannot think, it is monstrous to require thought of any kind.”
Oscar Wilde
“If you injure your neighbour, better not do it by halves.”
George Bernard Shaw
“Salary stories are intrusive. Do you ask your neighbour what they earn for their job?”
Nicole Kidman
