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

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

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

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.
