Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

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

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

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

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

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

Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations entangling alliances with none.

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.
