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

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

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

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

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.
