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

Be slow to fall into friendship but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.

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

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

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

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