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

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

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

The language of friendship is not words but meanings

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

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

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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.
