SHAKESPEARE ON FRIENDSHIP.
Keep thy friendUnder thy own life's key.
All's Well That Ends Well 1.1.65-6, Countess to Bertram
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,Grapple them unto thy soul with hoops of steel.
Hamlet 1.3.62-3, Polonius to Laertes
A friend should bear his friend's infirmities.
Julius Caesar 4.3.85, Cassius to Brutus
Friendship is constant in all things Save in the office and affairs of love.
Much Ado About Nothing 2.1.166-7, Claudio
I count myself in nothing else so happyAs in a soul remembering my good friends.
Richard II 2.3.46-7, Bolingbroke to Percy
The band that seems to tie their friendship together will be the very strangler of their amity.
Antony and Cleopatra 2.6.150, Enobarbus
To set a gloss on faint deeds, hollow welcomes,Recanting goodness, sorry ere 'tis shown;But where there is true friendship, there needs none.
Timon of Athens 1.2.20, Timon
I desire you in friendship, and I will one way or other make you amends.
The Merry Wives of Windsor 3.1.133, Antonio
To mingle friendship far is mingling bloods.
The Winter's Tale 1.2.135, Leontes
