An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

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

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

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

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

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

He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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