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

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.

When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

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

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

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

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

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