True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

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

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

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

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

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.

The best time to make friends is before you need them.

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