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

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.

Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.

When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.

The greatest sweetener of human life is Friendship. To raise this to the highest pitch of enjoyment, is a secret which but few discover.

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.
