Friends and friendship

A drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gal. So with men. If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend. Therein is a drop of honey which catches his heart, which, say what he will, is the highroad to his reason.

- Lincoln, Abraham

In America every woman has her set of girl-friends; some are cousins, the rest are gained at school.
