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

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

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

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

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

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

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

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