Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. on friendship

I don’t generally feel anything until noon, then it’s time for my nap.

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.

Don’t walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don’t walk behind me, I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

Albert Camus1913–1960

In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

Martin Luther King Jr.1929–1968Martin Luther King, Jr., The Trumpet of Conscience, Steeler Lecture, November 1967.

Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, ‘What! You too? I thought I was the only one!’

C. S. Lewis1898–1963
