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

The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.

The greatest sweetener of human life is Friendship. To raise this to the highest pitch of enjoyment, is a secret which but few discover.

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

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.

Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.

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

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

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.
