Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

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

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

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

The greatest sweetener of human life is Friendship. To raise this to the highest pitch of enjoyment, is a secret which but few discover.

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.
