Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

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

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.

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