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

Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

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

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

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

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

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

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

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

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.
