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

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one out of.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

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

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.
