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

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.

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

Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one out of.

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

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

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

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

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.
