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

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

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

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

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

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

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

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