Friendship increases in visiting friends, but in visiting them seldom.

Without friends the world is but a wilderness. There is no man that imparteth his joys to his friends, but he joyeth the more; and no man that imparteth his grieves to his friend, but he grieveth the less.

The worst solitude is to be destitute of sincere friendship.

Nature is often hidden, sometimes overcome, seldom extinguished.

Friendship redoubleth joys, and cutteth griefs in half

Age appears best in four things: old wood to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust and old authors to read.
