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.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

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

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

Friends... they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.
