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

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

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

Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

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

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

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

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.

Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
