Remember that a gesture of friendship, no matter how small, is always appreciated.

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

Be true to yourself. Make each day a masterpiece. Help others. Drink deeply from good books. Make friendship a fine art. Build a shelter against a rainy day.

Here's a news flash: No soldier gives his life That's not the way it works. Most soldiers who make a conscious decision to place themselves in harm's way do it to protect their buddies. They do it because of the bonds of friendship and it goes so much deeper than friendship.

The enemies cannot destroy the king who has at his service the respect and friendship of the wise men who can find fault, disagree, and correct him.

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

The two most misused words in the entire English vocabulary are love and friendship. A true friend would die for you, so when you start trying to count them on one hand, you don't need any fingers.

A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.

Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

There are times in every friendship when you or your friend are too busy to call or are more focused on other relationships. It will hurt, but it's rarely personal. Making it personal usually makes things worse, and being too clingy or demanding can drive a friend even further away. Like people, friendships can get 'overworked' and need to rest.

Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.
