It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one out of.

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

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

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

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