But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.

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

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

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

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.
