* Scientists have found that men and women view friendship differently. For women, friendship is a face-to-face relationship; for men, it’s side-by-side.
* The holy passion of friendship is of so sweet and steady and loyal and enduring a nature that it will last through a whole lifetime, if not asked to lend money. –Mark Twain
