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

The greatest sweetener of human life is Friendship. To raise this to the highest pitch of enjoyment, is a secret which but few discover.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.

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

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

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

Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.
