As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

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

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

To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.

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

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.
