There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

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

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

Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

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

It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.

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

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

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.
