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

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

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

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

True friendship is like sound health the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.

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

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.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.
