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

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

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

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

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

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.
