When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.

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

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

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

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

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