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

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

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

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

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

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

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

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.
