An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

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

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

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

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.

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

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

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

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