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

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.

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

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

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

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.
