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

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

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.
