She that asks
Her dear five hundred friends.

Educational romanticism asks too much from students at the bottom of the intellectual pile, asks the wrong things from those in the middle, and asks too little from those at the top.
Charles Murray
When a man is in doubt about this or that in his writing, it will often guide him if he asks himself how it will tell a hundred years hence.
Samuel (novelist Butler
"Sometimes," I said, "it seems to me that a friend might not take such pleasure in making fun of me as you do."
"Dear Odd! If one's friends do not openly laugh at him, they are not, in fact, his friends. How else would one learn to avoid saying those things that would elicit laughter from strangers? The mockery of friends is affectionate, and inoculates against foolishness."Dean R. Koontz
When we come to die, we shall be alone. From all our worldly possessions we shall be about to part. Worldly friends the friends drawn to us by our position, our wealth, or our social qualities, will leave us as we enter the dark valley. From those bound to us by stronger ties our kindred, our loved ones, children, brothers, sisters, and from those not less dear to us who have been made our friends because they and we are the friends of the same Saviour, from them also we must part. Yet not all will leave us. There is One who "sticketh closer than a brother" One who having loved His own which are in the world loves them to the end.
Albert Barnes
I don't much admire your taste, my dear, because hes a hundred and fifty years old; and what there is of him comes chiefly from the tailor.
