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

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.

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

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.
