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

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

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

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.

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

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

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.
