“I could never hate anyone I knew”

“How beautiful is youth! how bright it gleams with its illusions, aspirations, dreams! Book of beginnings, story without end, each maid a heroine, and each man a friend!”

“Just as we outgrow a pair of trousers, we outgrow acquaintances, libraries, principles, etc., at times before they're worn out and times - and this is the worst of all - before we have new ones”

“The most deadly fruit is borne by the hatred which one grafts on an extinguished friendship”

“It's the privilege of friendship to talk nonsense, and have her nonsense respected”

“Two persons cannot long be friends if they cannot forgive each other's little failings”
