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

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

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

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

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.
