A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

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

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

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.
