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

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

Love is flower like Friendship is like a sheltering tree.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.

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

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.
