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

Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

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

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

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