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

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

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.

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

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

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