Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

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

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

True friendship is like sound health the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.

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

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

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