Friendship in marble, animosity in dust
Gratitude to our friends and grace to our foes
May the laws of friendship submit to love
More friends and less need of them
May we never, by over-leaping the bounds of prudence, trespass
upon the bosom of friendship
Friendship without formality, and love without flattery
The friend that will tell us our faults
Friendship without interest, and love without deceit
Gratitude to preserve old friends, and good behaviour to procure
new ones
Heaven's best gift—A Friend
In friendship and love we may never know vexation
May the hinges of friendship never rust
May friendship draw the cork, and lave the curtain
May the bark of friendship never founder on the rock of deceit
May we bury our sorrows in the friendly draught
May we be rich in friends rather than money
May he who wants friendship also want friends
May we never want a friend to cheer us, or a bottle to cheer him
May old friends never be forgot for new ones
May friendship be enlivened by good humour, but never
wounded by wit
May our friends have no burden, and futurity no terrors
May the lamp of friendship be lighted with the oil of sincerity
May we always have a friend and know his value
May our friends always possess the three H's——Health Honour
and Happiness
Ability to serve a friend, a honour to conceal it
May difference of opinion never divide friendship
May friendship smile in our cups, and content on our loves
Our favourite friends and a favourite girl
Reconciliation to our friends
The sunshine of the soul—A Friend
Our absent friends
May the friendly bosom never want a friend
May he that turns his back on his friends fall into the hands of
his enemies
To the secret and silent
