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

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.

When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

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

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.
