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

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

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

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

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

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

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