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

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

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

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

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.
