Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

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.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

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

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.

Success always necessitates a degree of ruthlessness. Given the choice of friendship or success, I'd probably choose success.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

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

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.
