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

In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

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

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.
