Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

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

A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

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

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

It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.
