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

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

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

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.

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

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

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

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