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

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

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

Friends... they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

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