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

A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

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