The typical expression of opening Friendship would be something like, "What? You too? I thought I was the only one." . . . .

"I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.

I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, who has sight so keen and strong
That it can follow the flight of song?

Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend."
-- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

* "If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.
-- Nelson Mandela
