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

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

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

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.

A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.

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

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.

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

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