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

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.

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

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

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

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

The best time to make friends is before you need them.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.

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