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

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

Be slow to fall into friendship but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.

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

He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.

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

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

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