Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

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

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

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

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.
