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

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

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

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

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

Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations entangling alliances with none.

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

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

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.
