True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

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

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

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

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

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