Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

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

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.

In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.

It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.

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

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

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