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.

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

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

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.
