“The closest friendships are formed early in life, just because we are then less cautious, more open to impressions, and readier to welcome self-revelations.”
Hugh Black.
“There is no friend like the old friend who has shared our morning days. No greeting like his welcome, no homage like his praise: Fame is the scentless sunflower, with gaudy crown of gold; But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.”
Oliver Wendell Holmes.
“A friend may be often found, and lost; but an old friend can never be found, and nature has provided that he cannot be easily lost.”
Samuel Johnson.
“Old books, old wine, old Nankin blue,
All things, in short, to which belong
The charm, the grace that Time makes strong-
All these I prize, but (entre nous)
Old friends are best!
Austin Dobson.
