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

Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.
