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

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

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