A person should not take leave of his friend except with a matter of halacha, so that he will remember him through it

It is a beautiful custom to end a meeting with a friend by sharing a teaching from Torah or some wisdom, because such words can cause the friend to remember him also by virtue of what he said.

("And so taught Mari son of the son of Rav Huna son of Rabbi Jeremiah son of Abba: A person should not take leave of his friend except with a matter of halacha, so that he will remember him through it" - Berakhot 31a)
