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.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.

The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.

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