Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one out of.
I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.
Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.
beginning, laughter, friendship
The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.
friend is simply be his friend
