True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

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.

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

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

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

Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

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

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