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

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

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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.

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

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

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

Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.
