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

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

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

Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one out of.

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

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

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

Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.
