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

Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.

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

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

To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.
