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

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.

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

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.

True friendship is like sound health the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

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