Friendship is a
sweet attraction of the heart, towards the merit we esteem, or the perfections we
admire; and produces a mutual inclination between two persons, to promote each
other’s interest, knowledge, virtue, and happiness. - Wellins Calcott
Friendship is but
another name for an alliance with the follies and misfortunes of others. Our
own share of miseries is sufficient: why enter then as volunteers into those of
another? Is there so little gall poured into our cup, that we must need help to
drink that of our neighbor? - Thomas
Jefferson
Friendship is not
an obsolete sentiment. It is as true now as in Aristotle's time that no one
would care to live without friends, though he had all other good things. It is
still necessary to our life in its largest sense. - Hugh B. Black
