FAMOUS QUOTES Discuss in pairs the following quotations. Many people will walk in and out of your life; but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart. (Unknown) No man is the whole of himself; his friends are the rest of him. Don’t wait for people to be friendly, show them how. To keep a new friend, never break with the old. (Russian proverb) Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.(Randolf, G.)
