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

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

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

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

A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
