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

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

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

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

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

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.

Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations entangling alliances with none.

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.
