Love is flower like Friendship is like a sheltering tree.

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.

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

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

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

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

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

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.
