“Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.”

“It was in their friendship they just wanted to run forever, shadow and shadow.”

“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.”

“Life itself is but the shadow of death, and souls departed but the shadows of the living: All things fall under this name. The Sun itself is but the dark simulacrum, and the light but the shadow of God.”

“Loss and Possession, Death and Life are one.
There falls no shadow where there shines no sun.”

“Not forever does the bulbul sing
In balmy shades of bowers,
Not forever lasts the spring
Nor ever blossom the flowers.
Not forever reigneth joy,
Sets the sun on days of bliss,
Friendships not forever last,
They know not life, who know not this.”

“A shadow never sees the sun.”

“And the sun sets on another year. Much to ponder upon, even more to look forward to…”

“you are my sun, and if the sun went out, the shadow would die.”

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