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

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

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

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

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

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

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!

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