Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

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

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.
