I find friendship to be like wine, raw when new, ripened with age, the true old man's milk and restorative cordial.

But friendship is precious, not only in shade, but in the sunshine of life; and thanks to a benevolent arrangement of things, the greater part of life is sunshine

Forsake not an old friend, for the new is not comparable to him. A new friend is a new wine; when if is old, thou shalt drink it with pleasure.

I find as I grow older that I love those most whom I loved first.

Friendship demands attention.

A perfect friend would appreciate your thoughts and actions irrespective of the situation or time!
