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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.

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

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

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.
