Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

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

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

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

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

Friends... they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.
