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

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations entangling alliances with none.

Some people go to priests others to poetry I to my friends.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

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

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

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

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.
