--SIR WALTER RALEIGH.
'Tis thus that on the choice of friends
Our good or evil name depends.
--GAY.
We may have many acquaintances, but we can have but few friends;
this made Aristotle say that he that hath many friends hath none.

because revenge is a much stronger principle than gratitude.--COLTON.

--QUARLES.
Be slow to fall into friendship; but when thou art in continue firm
and constant.--SOCRATES.
We cannot expect the deepest friendship unless we are willing to pay
the price, a self-sacrificing love.--PELOUBET.
False friends are like our shadow, keeping close to us while we walk
in the sunshine, but leaving us the instant we cross into the shade.
--BOVEE.
Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing.--FRANKLIN.
The greatest medicine is a true friend.--SIR W. TEMPLE.
True friends visit us in prosperity only when invited, but in
adversity they come without invitation.--THEOPHRASTUS.
Sudden friendships rarely live to ripeness.--MLLE. DE SCUDERI.
Who friendship with a knave hath made,
Is judg'd a partner in the trade.
--GAY.
Thou mayest be sure that he who will in private tell thee of thy
faults is thy friend, for he adventures thy dislike and doth hazard
thy hatred.
