A friend to everybody is a friend to nobody. False friends are worse than open enemies. Flattery is all right so long as you don't inhale. Give credit where credit is due. Grief divided is made lighter.
Memory is the treasure of the mind.
Nothing dries sooner than a tear. Old friends and old wine are best. The best of friends must part. There is no better looking-glass than an old friend. A loveless life is a living death.
