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

Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

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

Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one out of.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

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

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

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.
