A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

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

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.
