Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.
Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.
Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.
But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life, and thanks to a benevolent arrangement the greater part of life is sunshine.
I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.
