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

One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

The best time to make friends is before you need them.

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

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

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

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