Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

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

A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

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

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.
