Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.

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

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

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

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

Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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

To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.
