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

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

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

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

True friendship is like sound health the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.

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

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

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.
