True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

Be slow to fall into friendship but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

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

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.
