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

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

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