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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

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

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

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

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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

When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.

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