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

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

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

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

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

Friends... they cherish one another's dreams. They are kind to one another's dreams

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

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

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

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