So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

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

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

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

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

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