Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

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

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

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

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

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

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

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.
