E. W. Howe on friendship

When a friend is in trouble, don’t annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it.

The sounder your argument, the more satisfaction you get out of it.

When people hear good music, it makes them homesick for something they never had and never will have.

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
