The real test of friendship is: can you literally do nothing with the other person? Can you enjoy those moments of life that are utterly simple?

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.
