I didn't find my friends; the good Lord gave them to me.

Short judgments make long friends.

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

If a man urge me to tell wherefore I loved him, I feel it cannot be expressed but by answering: Because it was he, because it was myself.

For when two beings who are not friends are near each other there is no meeting, and when friends are far apart there is no separation.

There is no friend as loyal as a book

Every friend is to the other a sun, and a sunflower also. He attracts and follows.

A slender acquaintance with the world must convince every man that actions, not words, are the true criterion of the attachment of friends.

A friend you have to buy; enemies you get for nothing.

An ounce of blood is worth more than a pound of friendship.
