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

Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

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

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

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

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

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