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

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

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

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.

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.
