There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love. – William Hazlitt
Do not keep on with a mockery of friendship after the substance is gone – but part, while you can part friends. Bury the carcass of friendship: it is not worth embalming. – William Hazlitt
I would like to spend the whole of my life traveling, if I could anywhere borrow another life to spend at home. – William Hazlitt
No matter what message you are about to deliver somewhere, whether it is holding out a hand of friendship, or making clear that you disapprove of something, is the fact that the person sitting across the table is a human being, so the goal is to always establish common ground. – Madeleine Albright
