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

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

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

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
