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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.
