Love is blind friendship closes its eyes.

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

Wishing to be friends is quick work but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

Men kick friendship around like a football but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

Rare as is true love true friendship is rarer.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

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

In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

But friendship is precious not only in the shade but in the sunshine of life and thanks to a benevolent arrangement the greater part of life is sunshine.
