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

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

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

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

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

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

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

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

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