Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

Love is flower like Friendship is like a sheltering tree.

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

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

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

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

One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

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

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.
