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

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.
