My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

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

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

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

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

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