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

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

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

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

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

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

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.

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