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

Be slow to fall into friendship but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

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

Friends... they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.

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

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

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

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