Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.

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

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

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

Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.
