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

To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

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

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

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.

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.
