While there's life, there's hope. - Marcus Tullius Cicero

"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."

"Love is the attempt to form a friendship inspired by beauty."

"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."

"I criticize by creation, not by finding fault."
