Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.
It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.
But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life, and thanks to a benevolent arrangement the greater part of life is sunshine.
If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give.
gem, flower, friend, heart, angles, friendship
Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.
Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.
mighty proud, able, have a spare, friendship, friends
A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.
