True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

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

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

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

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.

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

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

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
