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

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

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

Success always necessitates a degree of ruthlessness. Given the choice of friendship or success, I'd probably choose success.

The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.

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

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.

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.
