Henry Fielding Friendship Quotations

In the forming of female friendships beauty seldom recommends one woman to another.

The highest friendship must always lead us to the highest pleasure.

Distance of time and place generally cure what they seem to aggravate; and taking leave of our friends resembles taking leave of the world, of which it has been said, that it is not death, but dying, which is terrible.

These are called the pious frauds of friendship.

It is well known to all great men, that by conferring an obligation they do not always procure a friend, but are certain of creating many enemies.
