A true friend freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably.

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

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

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

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

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 language of friendship is not words but meanings.
