“New friends can often have a better time together than old friends.”

“The differences between friends cannot but reinforce their friendship.”

“Allowances can always be made for your friends to disagree with you. Disagreement, vehement disagreement, is healthy. Debate is impossible without it. Evil does not question itself. Even the incorruptible are corruptible if they cannot accept the possibility of being mistaken.”

“One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.”
