Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.

Even in the common affairs of life, in love, friendship, and marriage, how little security have we when we trust our happiness in the hands of others!

Love is the attempt to form a friendship inspired by beauty.

Of all the things which wisdom provides to make us entirely happy, much the greatest is the possession of friendship.

Friendship, like love, is destroyed by long absence, though it may be increased by short intermissions.
