One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

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

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

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

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

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

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

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.
