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

The greatest sweetener of human life is Friendship. To raise this to the highest pitch of enjoyment, is a secret which but few discover.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

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

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

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