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

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

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

Some people go to priests others to poetry I to my friends.

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.
