One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

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

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.

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

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

Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another.

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

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