Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

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

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

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

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

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.
