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

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

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

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

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

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

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

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

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

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.
