a) Quotations on friendship:

君子之交淡如水: A hedge between keeps friendship green. Friends agree best at a distance.

《庄子·外篇·山木》：“且君子之交淡若水，小人之交甘若醴。君子淡以亲，小人甘以绝，彼无故以合者，则无故以离。” 淡以亲：指淡泊但心地亲近。甘以绝：指小人之交囡过于甜蜜因而往往断绝。

海内存知己，天涯若比邻A bosom friend afar brings a distant land near. 王勃《送杜少甫之任蜀州》

To Wang Lun --- Li Bai 赠汪伦

I'm on board; We're about to sail, 李白乘舟将欲行，

When there's stamping and singing on shore; 忽闻岸上踏歌声。

Peach Blossom Pool is a thousand feet deep, 桃花潭水深千尺，

Yet not so deep,Wang Lun,as your love for me. 不及汪伦送我情。

人生得一知己足矣，斯世当以同怀视之。Life is a bosom friend is sufficient.
