Brault, Robert

People's lives change. To keep all your friends is like keeping all your old clothes -- pretty soon your closet is so jammed and everything's so crushed you can't find anything to wear. Help these friends when they need you; bless the years and happy times when you meant a lot to each other, but try not to feel guilty if new people mean more to you now
Brown, Helen Gurley

A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil; but it needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small, silly presents every so often - just to save it from drying out completely
