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

Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

Success always necessitates a degree of ruthlessness. Given the choice of friendship or success, I'd probably choose success.

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

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations entangling alliances with none.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.
