The only way to have a friend is to be one.

I lay it down as a fact that if all men knew what others say of them, there would not be four friends in the world.

To feel the intimacy of brothers is a marvelous thing in life.

Give us grace and strength to forbear and to persevere. Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mind, spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies.

Friends accept you the way you are.

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.
