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

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

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

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

A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings

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