Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life, and thanks to a benevolent arrangement the greater part of life is sunshine.
Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

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