Age appears best in four things: old wood to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust and old authors to read.

The greatest trust between man and man is the trust of giving counsel.

Nothing opens the heart like a true friend, to whom you may impart griefs, joys, fears, hopes...and whatever lies upon the heart....

Friends are thieves of time.

The worst solitude is to have no real friendships.

We read that we ought to forgive our enemies; but we do not read that we ought to forgive our friends.

Friendship redoubleth joys, and cutteth griefs in half.

Those that want friends to open themselves unto are cannibals of their own hearts.
