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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

Success always necessitates a degree of ruthlessness. Given the choice of friendship or success, I'd probably choose success.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.
