My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

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

Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations entangling alliances with none.

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

The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.

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

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.
