Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.

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

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

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

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

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

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

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

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.
