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

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

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

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

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

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.

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