Friendship and money: oil and water.
The differences between friends cannot but reinforce their friendship.
Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.
It is wise to apply the oil of refined politeness to the mechanism of friendship.
Came but for friendship, and took away love.
Good fellowship and friendship are lasting, rational and manly pleasures.
My friendships are very important to me.
But, for a Christian, there are, strictly speaking, no chances. A secret Master of the Ceremonies has been at work. Christ, who said to the disciples "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you," can truly say to every group of Christian friends "Y...
I was lucky to meet you, yes.' 'Me too . . .' she said, looking me in the eyes. 'I was lucky too. The men I know are a disaster, not one of them believes in love; so they give you this big spiel about friendship, affection, a whole load of stuff that...
