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

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.

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

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!

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

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.
