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

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

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

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

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

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

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another.

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.
