My father
always used to say that when you die, if you've got five
real friends, then you've had a great life.
-- Lee Iacocca
1924-, American Businessman,
Former CEO of Chrysler
Human beings
are born into this little span of life of which the best
thing is its friendship and intimacies, and soon their
places will know them no more, and yet they leave their
friendships and intimacies with no cultivation, to grow as
they will by the roadside, expecting them to keep by force
of inertia.
-- William James
1842-1910, American
Psychologist, Professor, Author
But friendship
is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of
life; and thanks to a benevolent arrangement of things, the
greater part of life is sunshine.
-- Thomas Jefferson
1743-1826, Third President of
the USA
Friendship is
but another name for an alliance with the follies and the
misfortunes of others. Our own share of miseries is
sufficient: why enter then as volunteers into those of
another?
-- Thomas Jefferson
1743-1826, Third President of
the USA

To myself,
personally, it brings nothing but increasing drudgery and
daily loss of friends.
-- Thomas Jefferson

the USA
A friend is
long sought, hardly found, and with difficulty kept.
-- St. Jerome

The friendship
that can cease has never been real.
-- St. Jerome
c.342-420, Croatian Christian
Ascetic, Scholar
True
friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.
