Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

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.

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

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

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

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

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

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

The best time to make friends is before you need them.
