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

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

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

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

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

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

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

A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.
