Long description
This delightful little book includes approximately 45 friendship-related quotations, some more familiar than others, but all thoughtfully and precisely expressed. Conveniently arranged alphabetically by author, the quotes include such timeless observations as "One friend in a lifetime is much; two are many; three hardly possible." (Henry Adams); "A tru friend is on soul in two bodies." (Aristotle); "Wealth maketh many friends." (the Bible, Proverbs 19:4); "Friendship is like money, easier made than kept." (Samuel Butler); and "Every time I paint a portrait I lose a friend." (John Singer Sargent). Here also are pensive musings by Socrates, Confucius, Francis Bacon, Robert Browning, Carlyle, and Montaigne; as well as delightfully wry declarations by Mark Twain, Dorothy Parker, Finley Peter Dunne and many more.
