—Henry D. Thoreau
Friendship new is neither strong or pure.
—Young
Friendship is constant in all other things
Save in the office and affairs of love:
Therefore, all hearts in love use their own tongues.
—Shakespeare
A friendship that makes the least noise is often the most useful; for which reason I should prefer a prudent friend to a zealous one.
—Addison
A faithful friend is a true image of the Deity.
—Napoleon
O friend! O best of friends! Thy absence more
Than the impending night darkens the landscape o’er!
—Longfellow
The place where two friends first met is sacred to them all through their friendship, all the more sacred as their friendship deepens and grows old.
