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

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

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

Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one out of.

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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