They scent the sorrow of their friends, they divine its causes, and they clasp it to their minds and hearts. - Honore de Balzac With regard to the choice of friends, there is little to say; for a friend is never chosen. A secret sympathy, the attraction of a thousand nameless qualities, a charm in the expression of the countenance, even in the voice or manner, a similarity of circumstances--these are the things that begin attachment. - Mrs. Anna Letitia Barbauld No friend's a friend till [he shall] prove a friend. - Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher, The Faithful Friends (act III, sc. 3, l. 50) Friend, of my infinite dreams Little enough endures; Little howe'er it seems, It is yours, all yours. - A.C. (Arthur Christopher) Benson, The Gift It is better to avenge a friend than to mourn for him. - Beowulf VII Forsake not an old friend; for the new is not comparable to him: a new friend is as new wine; when it is old, thou shalt drink it with pleasure. - Bible, Ecclesiasticus (Apocrypha) (ch. IX, v. 10) Displaying page 1 of 13 for this topic: Next >> [1] 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
