"Fan the sinking flame of hilarity with the wing of friendship; and pass the rosy wine." ― Charles Dickens Topic(s): Friendship More From Charles Dickens "It is a melancholy truth that even great men have their poor relations." "Most men are individuals no longer so far as their business, its activities, or its moralities are concerned. They are not units but fractions." "That sort of half sigh, which, accompanied by two or three slight nods of the head, is pity’s small change in general society." More In Friendship "A woman may very well form a friendship with a man, but for this to endure, it must be assisted by a little physical antipathy."― Friedrich Nietzsche "I would have told him that I appreciated his friendship through the years and that I had learned a lot from him. I really loved Frank like you do a brother."― Jimmy Carl Black "But it all comes down to friendship, treating people right."― Ernie Banks
