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

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.

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

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

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

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

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