It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.
