Famous quotes containing the words childhood and/or friends:

    ““Come; see the oxen kneel,

    “In the lonely barton by yonder coomb
    Our childhood used to know,”
    I should go with him in the gloom,
    Hoping it might be so.”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    “I do then with my friends as I do with my books. I would have them where I can find them, but I seldom use them. We must have society on our own terms, and admit or exclude it on the slightest cause.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
