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.

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

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.

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

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

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

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

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