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

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship

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

Be slow to fall into friendship but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.

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

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

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.
