The best time to make friends is before you need them.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.
