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.

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

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

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.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

True friendship is like sound health the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.

Friends... they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.

In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.
