Marcus Tullius Cicero

Love is the attempt to form a friendship inspired by beauty.

The rule of friendship means there should be mutual sympathy between them, each supplying what the other lacks and trying to benefit the other, always using friendly and sincere words.

What sweetness is left in life, if you take away friendship? Robbing life of friendship is like robbing the world of the sun. A true friend is more to be esteemed than kinsfolk.

A friend is, as it were, a second self.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living.

While there's life, there's hope.

To live is to think.
