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

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

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

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations entangling alliances with none.

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