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

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

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 always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!

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