"Two persons cannot long be friends if they cannot forgive each other's little failings."

"No man is so perfect, so necessary to his friends as to give them no cause to miss him less."

"The first day one is a guest, the second a burden, and the third a pest."

"Friendship * * * is a long time in forming, it is of slow growth, through many trials and months of familiarity."

"Pure friendship is something which men of an inferior intellect can never taste."
