“I must remember that a good friend is a new world.”

“You have not realized how I have developed. I was a schoolboy when you knew me. I am a man now. I have new passions new thoughts new ideas. I am different but you must not like me less. I am changed but you must always be my friend.”

“I choose my friends for their good looks, my acquaintances for their good characters, and my enemies for their good intellects.”

“I always like to know everything about my new friends, and nothing about my old ones.”

“A good friend will always stab you in the front.”

“I remember your saying once that there is a fatality about good resolutions—that they are always made too late. Mine certainly were.”

“Know thyself' was written over the portal of the antique world. Over the portal of the new world, 'Be thyself' shall be written.”
