Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

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

The best time to make friends is before you need them.

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

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

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

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

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.
