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

In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

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

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

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.
