When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

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

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

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

Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.

True friendship is like sound health the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.
