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

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

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

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

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

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.
