Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.
