Loss of Friendship
|
Alas! they had been friends in youth; But whispering tongues can poison truth; And constancy lives in realms above; And life is thorny; and youth is vain; And to be wroth with one we love Doth work like madness in the brain. |
Coleridge
Intimacies which increase vanity destroy friendship.
William Ellery Channing
Between friends, frequent reproofs make the friendship distant.
Confucius
