Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

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.

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

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

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.

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.

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

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

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.
