Blessed are they who have the gift of making friends, for it is one of
God's best gifts. It involves many things, but, above all, the power of
going out of one's self and seeing and appreciating whatever is noble
and loving in another.
--_Hughes_.

Cultivate the friendships of thy youth; it is only in that generous time
they are formed.
--_Thackeray_.

Companions I have enough, friends few.
--_Pope_.

Friendship is steady and peaceful; not much jealousy, and no
heartburnings. It strengthens with time, and survives the smallpox and
a wooden leg. It doubles our joys, divides our griefs, and warms our
lives with a steady flame.
--_Reade_.

Friendship above all ties doth bind the heart,
And Faith is Friendship in its noblest part.
--_Earl of Orrey_.
* * * * *
Friendship, peculiar boon of Heaven,
The noble mind's delight and pride,
To men and angels only given,
To all the lower world denied.
