Conjugal love, or the friendship of spouses, can persist even after sexual desires have weakened, withered, and disappeared.
One measure of friendship consists not in the number of things friends can discuss, but in the number of things they need no longer mention.
Sweet is the scene where genial friendship plays the pleasing game of interchanging praise.
Show me a genuine case of platonic friendship, and I shall show you two old or homely faces.
