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

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

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

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

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

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

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

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

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