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

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

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

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

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.

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

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

The best time to make friends is before you need them.
