There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

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

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.

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

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

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

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

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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