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

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

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

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

Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.

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

A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.

True friendship is like sound health the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

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