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

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.

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

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

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

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

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