I always felt that the great high privilege, relief, and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.
~ KATHERINE MANSFIELD.
Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years.
~ RICHARD BACH.
Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
~ ANAIS NIN.
Be courteous to all but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence; true friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to appellation.
~ GEORGE WASHINGTON.
