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

Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.

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

Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

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

Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.
