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

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

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

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

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.
