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

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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.

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

One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.
