Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

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.

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!

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

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
