Friendship lives on its income, love devours its capital.
Each has his past shut in him like the leaves of a book known to him by his heart, and his friends can only read the title.
The influence of each human being on others in this life is a kind of immortality.
Hearts will break - yet brokenly, live on.
I'm physically completely mal-coordinated. My best friend used to make me run for the bus just to give herself a quick, cheap laugh because I definitely don't have that sophisticated cool thing down.
We take care of our health; we lay up money; we make our roof tight, and our clothing sufficient; but who provides wisely that he shall not be wanting in the best property of all, -friends?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to min?
So closely interwoven have been our lives, our purposes, and experiences that, separated, we have a feeling of incompleteness--united, such strength of self-association that no ordinary obstacles, difficulties, or dangers ever appear to us insurmountable.
In love and friendship the imagination is as much exercised as the heart; and if either is outraged the other will be estranged. It is commonly the imagination which is wounded first, rather than the heart,--it is so much the more sensitive.
The true spirit of conversation consists in building on another man's observation, not overturning it.
There isn't a particle of you that I don't know, remember, and want.
The only thing to do is to hug one's friends tight and do one's job.
The poor dog, in life the firmest friend. The first to welcome, foremost to defend.
The two most important things in life are good friends and a strong bullpen.
I can never think of promoting my convenience at the expense of a friend's interest and inclination.
Friendship is like a rose. . . opening one petal at a time, only as it unfolds. . . day by day it reveals its true beauty.
Why you got your ass on your shoulders?
There is little friendship in the world, and least of all between equals.
A workable and effective way to meet and overcome difficulties is to take on someone else's problems. It is a strange fact but you can often handle two difficulties-your own and somebody else's-better than you can handle your own alone. That truth is based on a subtle law of self-giving or outgoingness whereby you develop a self-strengthening in the process.
Do not allow grass to grow on the road of friendship.
