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

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

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

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

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

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

Be slow to fall into friendship but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.
