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

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

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

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

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

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

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

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

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