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

Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.

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.

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

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

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

Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another.

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

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

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