Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.

Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one out of.

Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations entangling alliances with none.

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.
