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.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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

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

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.

Be slow to fall into friendship but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.
