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

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.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.
