When I have opened my heart to a friend, I am more myself than ever. (Thomas Moore) Don't walk in front of me I may not follow Don't walk behind me I may not lead Walk beside me And just be my friend. (Albert Camus) The Arrow and the Song I shot an arrow into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For, so swiftly it flew, the sight Could not follow it in its flight. I breathed a song into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For who has sight so keen and strong, That it can follow the flight of song? Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke; And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend. (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow) New Friends and Old Friends Make new friends, but keep the old; Those are silver, these are gold. New-made friendships, like new wine, Age will mellow and refine. Friendships that have stood the test Time and change - are surely best; Brow may wrinkle, hair grow gray; Frienship never knows decay. For 'mid old friends, tried and true, Once more we reach and youth renew But old friends, alas! may die; New friends must their place supply Cherish friendships in your breast New is good, but old is best; Make new friends, but keep the old; Those are silver, these are gold. (Joseph Parry)
