True friendship is like sound health the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.

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

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

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

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

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

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

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