Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

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

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

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

Friends... they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.

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

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

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

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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