A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

The best time to make friends is before you need them.

Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

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

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.
