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

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

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

Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

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

True friendship is like sound health the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.

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

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

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