"But friendship is the breathing rose, with..." - Quote by Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr

“Many people die with their music still in them. Why is this so? Too often it is because they are always getting ready to live. Before they know it, time runs out.”

“Cupid "the little greatest enemy."”

“Every event that a man would master must be mounted on the run, and no man ever caught the reins of a thought except as it galloped past him.”

“I've always wanted male friends that I could be real intimate with and talk about important things with and be as affectionate with that person as I would be with a girl.”

“The real friend is another self.”

“A friend should be a master at guessing and keeping still: you must not want to see everything.”

“What do we have in common with the rosebud, which trembles because a drop of dew lies on its body?”

“All the spring may be hidden in the single bud, and the low ground nest of the lark may hold the joy that is to herald the feet of many rose-red dawns.”

“What is art? Nature concentrated.”
