“Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is by far the best ending for one.”

“Many a time,… from a bad beginning great friendships have sprung up.”

“But as the Roman playwright Terence once wrote, From many a bad beginning great friendships have formed”

“…the end is in the beginning and lies far ahead.”

“from the beginning, through the
middle years and up to the
end:
too bad, too bad, too bad.”

“From quiet homes and first beginning,
Out to the undiscovered ends,
There's nothing worth the wear of winning,
But laughter and the love of friends.”

“I've lost track of where friendship ends and falling begins.
(this is the foolish refrain of the hopelessly devoted.)
there are times I want to kiss you midsentence.
undo the not-doing with one gesture.”

“Endings are not always bad. Most times they're just beginnings in disguise.”

“Change is hardest at the beginning, messiest in the middle and best at the end.”

“the best kind of laughter is laughter born of a shared memory.”
