"Friendship will not stand the strain of very much good advice for very long." ― Robert Staughton Lynd Topic(s): Friendship More From Robert Staughton Lynd "Most of us can remember a time when a birthday – especially if it was one’s own – brightened the world as if a second sun has risen." "Knowledge is power only if man knows what facts not to bother with." "Cut quarrels out of literature, and you will have very little history or drama or fiction or epic poetry left."
