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

Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.

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

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.

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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

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.

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.
