Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

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

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

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