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.

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

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

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

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

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

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

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.
