The greatest sweetener of human life is Friendship. To raise this to the highest pitch of enjoyment, is a secret which but few discover.

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

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

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

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

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

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

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.
