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

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

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

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

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

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

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

Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.
