John Newton on Friendship

1725–1807 England

← All quotes by John Newton

2 quotes

A real friendship should not fade as time passes, and should not weaken because of space separation.

A more appropriate adjective for measuring the degree of a friendship should be “good” – how good, rather than “close” – how close. A good friend is not necessarily close; a close friend is not necessarily good.
