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

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

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

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

Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

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

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

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.
