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

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

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

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.
