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

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.

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

A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.

Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

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

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.
