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.

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

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

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

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

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.

Friends... they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.
