Friendships

Famous quotes containing the word friendships:

“Civilization does not engross all the virtues of humanity: she has not even her full share of them. They flourish in greater abundance and attain greater strength among many barbarous people. The hospitality of the wild Arab, the courage of the North American Indian, and the faithful friendships of some of the Polynesian nations, far surpass any thing of a similar kind among the polished communities of Europe.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“Old friendships are like meats served up repeatedly, cold, comfortless, and distasteful. The stomach turns against them.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)

“When other friendships have been forgot,
Ours will still be hot.”
—Cole Porter (1893–1964)
