“This is the Comfort of Friends, that though they may be said to Die, yet their Friendship and Society are, in the best Sense, ever present, because Immortal.”

“Friendship's best,' I said, 'and friendship's forever because no baby can come along to spoil it.”

“Ah, my friend, one may live in a big house and yet have no comfort.”

“Friendship," said Christopher Robin, "is a very comforting thing to have.”

“HAST thou a Friend, as heart may wish at will?
Then use him so, to have his friendship still.
Would'st have a Friend, would'st know what friend is best?
Have God thy friend who passeth all the rest.”

“The best definition of an immortal is someone who hasn't died yet.”

“A vice in common can be the ground of a friendship but not a virtue in common. X and Y may be friends because they are both drunkards or womanizers but, if they are both sober and chaste, they are friends for some other reason.”

“To let friendship die away by negligence and silence, is certainly not wise. It is voluntarily to throw away one of the greatest comforts of this weary pilgrimage.”

“Atman is an ever-present Reality. Yet, because of ignorance it is not realised. On the destruction of ignorance Atman is realised.”

“Only a true best friend can protect you from your immortal enemies.”
