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

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.

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

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

Friends... they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.

The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.
