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

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.

The best time to make friends is before you need them.

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

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

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

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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

Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
