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

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

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

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

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