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.

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

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

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.

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

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

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.
