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

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.

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.

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

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

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

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.
