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.

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

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

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

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

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!
