Prosperity makes friends and adversity tries tliem.

A friend is one who dislikes the same people that you dislike.

Forsake not an old friend, for the new is not comparable unto him. A new friend is as new wine: when it is old thou shalt drink it with pleasure.

A true friend is the best possession.

Actions, not words, are the true criterion of the attachment of friends.

Friendship is a plant which must be often watered.

Friendship increases in visiting friends, but not in visiting them too often.

A hedge between keeps friendships green.

The best rule of friendship is to keep your heart a little softer than your head.

Love your friend with his fault.

We are fonder of visiting our friends in health than in sickness. We judge less favorably of their characters when any misfortune happens to them; and a lucky hit, either in business or reputation, improves even their personal appearance in our eyes.

Trouble shared is trouble halved.
