Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

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

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

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

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

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

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

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