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

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

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

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

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.

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.

Be slow to fall into friendship but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.
