A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

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

Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.

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

In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.
