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

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

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

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

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings

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

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