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

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

True friendship is like sound health the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

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

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

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

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