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

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

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

Friends... they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.

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

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

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

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