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

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

He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.

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

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

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

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

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

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