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

The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.

Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.

Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
