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

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

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

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

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