Constancy of Friendship

A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

Proverbs xvii. 17

Oh happy days, oh early friends,
How Life since then hath lost its flowers!
But yet—tho' Time some foliage rends,
The stem, the Friendship, still is ours;
And long may it endure, as green
And fresh as it hath always been!

Thomas Moore

A true friend is for ever a friend.
