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

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

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

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

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

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

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

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

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

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.
