Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

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

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

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

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

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

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

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.
