Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

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

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

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.

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

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.
