True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

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

Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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