I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

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

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

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

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

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

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