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

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

One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

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

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

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

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

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