A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

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

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.

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

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.
