When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

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

Some people go to priests others to poetry I to my friends.

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

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

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

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

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.
