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

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!

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

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.
