There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.
