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

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

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

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

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

Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.
