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

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

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

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

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

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

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.
