Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

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

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.
