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

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

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.

The greatest sweetener of human life is Friendship. To raise this to the highest pitch of enjoyment, is a secret which but few discover.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

Be slow to fall into friendship but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.
