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

Be slow to fall into friendship but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.

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

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

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.

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

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

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.

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.
