A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

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

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

Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.

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

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

The greatest sweetener of human life is Friendship. To raise this to the highest pitch of enjoyment, is a secret which but few discover.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!
