Love is the attempt to form a friendship inspired by beauty. - Marcus Tullius Cicero

"While there's life, there's hope."

"Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief."

"What sweetness is left in life, if you take away friendship? Robbing life of friendship is like robbing the world of the sun. A true friend is more to be esteemed than kinsfolk."

"A friend is, as it were, a second self."

"The life given us, by nature is short; but the memory of a well-spent life is eternal."
