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

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

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

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

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

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

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

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

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