| Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.
Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, who has sight so keen and strong
That it can follow the flight of song?
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
A true friend is the greatest of all blessings,
and that which we take the least care to acquire.
La Rochefoucauld
However rare true love may be, it is less
so than true friendship.
La Rochefoucauld
We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship
is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is
at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of
kindnesses there is at last one which makes the heart run
over.
Samuel Johnson
A sympathetic friend can be quite as dear
as a brother.
Homer Simpson
In the sweetness of friendship let there
be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.
Kahlil Gibran
Let your best be for your friend.
Kahlil Gibran
Let there be no purpose in friendship save
the eepening of the spirit.
Your friend is your needs answered.
Kahlil Gibran
A good friend is my nearest relation.
Thomas Fuller
Friendship is Love without his wings!
Lord Byron
Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination
in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one
another.
Eustace Budgel
A companion loves some agreeable qualities
which a man may possess, but a friend loves the man himself.
James Boswell
