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

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

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

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.

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.

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.
