“Friendship was given by nature to be an assistant to virtue, not a companion in vice.”
“They who dare to ask anything of a friend, by their very request seem to imply that they would do anything for the sake of that friend.”
“A true friend is a sort of second self.”
“There is no more sure tie between friends than when they are united in their objects and wishes.”
“You must therefore love me, myself, and not my circumstances, if we are to be real friends.”
“There is no treasure the which may be compared unto a faithful friend; Gold some decayeth, and worldly wealth consumeth, and wasteth in the winde; But love once planted in a perfect and pure minde indureth weale and woe; The frownes of fortune, come they never so unkinde, cannot the same overthrowe.”
