A Man may buy a good Turn, but he cannot buy the Heart that doth it.
Friendship cannot live with Ceremony, nor without Civility.
There must be a nice Diet observed to keep Friendship from falling sick; nay, there is more Skill necessary to keep a Friend, than there is to reclaim an Enemy.
Those Friends who are above Interest are seldom above jealousy.
It is a Misfortune for a Man not to have a Friend in the World, but for that reason he shall have no Enemy.
In the Commerce of the World, Men struggle little less with their Friends, than they do with their Enemies.
Esteem ought to be the ground of Kindness, and yet there are no Friends that seldomer meet.
Kindness is apt to be as afraid of Esteem, as that is to be ashamed of Kindness.
Our Kindness is greatest to those that will do what we would have them, in which our Esteem cannot always go along.
