George Washington Quotes on Friendship

3 quotes

  1. A slender acquaintance with the world must convince every man that actions, not words, are the true criterion of the attachment of friends.

  2. Be courteous to all, but intimate with few; and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

  3. Associate yourself with Men of good Quality if you Esteem your own Reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad Company.
