The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.

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

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

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

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

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.
