Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one out of.

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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

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

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
