A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.

Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one out of.

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

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

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

A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.
