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

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

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

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

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

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

Some people go to priests others to poetry I to my friends.

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

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