Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

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

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

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

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

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.
