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

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

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

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

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.
