Aristotle: "Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow-ripening fruit."

It's scary to think that one day we're going to have to live without our mother or father or brother or husband or wife. Or that one day we're going to have to walk this earth without our best friend by our side, or them without us. Appreciate your loved ones while you can, because none of us are going to be here forever.

Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: What! You too? I thought I was the only one.

There are two sure ways to lose a friend: one is to borrow, the other to lend.
