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

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

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

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

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

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.
