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

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

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

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

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

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