Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

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

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

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

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.
