A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
Proverbs xviii. 24
|
You'll never hope To be such friends, for instance she and you, As when you hunted cowslips in the woods Or played together in the meadow hay. Oh yes—with age, respect comes, and your worth Is felt, there's growing sympathy of tastes, There's ripened friendship, there's confirmed esteem. |
Robert Browning
|
Plant thou the tree of friendship only; so shall thy heart's desire bear fruit: Uproot thou hatred's plant completely, or woes unnumbered thence may shoot. |
Hafiz
Sacredness of Friendship
