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.

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

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

The best time to make friends is before you need them.

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

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

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

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

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

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