Friendships
begun in this world will be taken up again, never to be

There are
three faithful friends, an old wife, an old dog, and ready
money.

Friends and
neighbors, the taxes are indeed very heavy, and if those
laid on by the government were the only ones we had to pay,
we might more easily discharge them; but we have many
others, and much more grievous to some of us. We are taxed
twice as much by our idleness, three times as much by our
pride, and four times as much by our folly; and from these
taxes the commissioners cannot ease or deliver us by
allowing abatement.
-- Benjamin Franklin
1706-1790, American
Scientist, Publisher, Diplomat
When all is
said and done, friendship is the only trustworthy fabric of
the affections. So-called love is a delirious inhuman state
of mind: when hot it substitutes indulgence for fair play;
when cold it is cruel, but friendship is warmth in cold,
firm ground in a bog.
-- Miles Franklin
1879-1954, Australian Author

Give me work
to do, Give me health, Give me joy in simple things, Give me
an eye for beauty, A tongue for truth, A heart that loves, A
mind that reasons, A sympathy that understands. Give me
neither malice nor envy, But a true kindness And a noble
common sense. At the close of each day Give me a book And a
friend with whom I can be silent.
-- S. M. Frazier
Friends make
pretence of following to the grave but before one is in it,
their minds are turned and making the best of their way back
to life and living people and things they understand.
-- Robert Frost
1875-1963, American Poet
A good friend

If you have
