Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.

Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one out of.

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

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

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

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

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