“Friends share all things.”

“We are all good friends. Friendship is what endures. Shared ideals, respect for the whole character of a human being.”

“Sharing is a kinsman's or a friend's obligation, and it is not in the category of a gift.”

“Friends share secrets. That's what keeps us close.”

“Friends have all things in common.”

“All things are in common among friends.”

“True friends share everything, except the past before they met.”

“I believe that all of us - whether native Scots or our friends abroad - should strive for a shared understand of our heritage and origins.”

“My real friend was my first wife. I could share everything with her without exception. That's how it came together that she became both a wife and a friend. A friend in the full sense of the word happens once in a lifetime or does not happen at all.”

“The First [Friend] is the alter ego, the man who first reveals to you that you are not alone in the world by turning out (beyond hope) to share all your most secret delights. There is nothing to be overcome in making him your friend; he and you join like raindrops on a window. But the Second Friend is the man who disagrees with you about everything… Of course he shares your interests; otherwise he would not become your friend at all. But he has approached them all at a different angle. he has read all the right books but has got the wrong thing out of every one… How can he be so nearly right, and yet, invariably, just not right? He is as fascinating (and infuriating) as a woman.”
