Quote

Be slow to fall into friendship; but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.

When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.

Friendships that have stood the test of time and change are surely best.

Choose your friends wisely, and also choose friends that you can trust.

Choose your friends carefully. It is they who will lead you in one direction or the other.

Sometimes you can make friends, and sometimes you can take friends. Sometimes people want to be friends with you, and you gotta be like, 'Okay, I can deal with this person's personality and be their friend, but not necessarily do I have to change who I am. I'm not gonna change myself to be their friend.'

Change should be a friend. It should happen by plan, not by accident.

Friendship will not stand the strain of very much good advice for very long.

Be careful the environment you choose for it will shape you; be careful the friends you choose for you will become like them.
