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

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

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

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

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.

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.

Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another.

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.
