Friends are born, not made.

Friends are born, not made.

One friend in a lifetime is much, two are many, three are hardly possible. Friendship needs a certain parallelism of life, a community of thought, a rivalry of aim.

Mathematicians are born, not made.

Dancers are made, not born.

As I have learned over the years, your friends don’t change; you just learn to ignore or embrace the bad bits.
