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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

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

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.
