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

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

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

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings

Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.

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

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.
