A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

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

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

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

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

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.
