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

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.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations entangling alliances with none.

Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another.

When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

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