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

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.

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

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

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.
