The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

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

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

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

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

Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.
