Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

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

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

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

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

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

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

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

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.
