Old friends
are the great blessings of one's later years. Half a word
conveys one's meaning. They have a memory of the same
events, have the same mode of thinking. I have young
relations that may grow upon me, for my nature is
affectionate, but can they grow [To Be] old friends?
-- Horace Walpole
1717-1797, British Author
Good company
in a journey makes the way seem shorter.
-- Izaak Walton
1593-1683, British Writer
The book is
closed, the year is done, The pages full of tasks begun. A
little joy, a little care, Along with dreams, are written
there. This new day brings another year, Renewing hope,
dispelling fear. And we may find before the end, A deep
content, another friend.
-- Arch Ward
The wise man
does not permit himself to set up even in his own mind any
comparisons of his friends. His friendship is capable of
going to extremes with many people, evoked as it is by many
qualities.
-- Charles Dudley Warner
1829-1900, American Author

A slender
acquaintance with the world must convince every man that
actions, not words, are the true criterion of the attachment
of friends.
-- George Washington
1732-1799, First President of
the USA
Be courteous
to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well
tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship
is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand
the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the
appellation.
-- George Washington
1732-1799, First President of
the USA

Don't make
friends who are comfortable to be with. Make friends who
will force you to lever yourself up.
