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.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

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

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.
