As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

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

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

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

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

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