Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

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

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

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

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