A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

True friendship is like sound health the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.

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

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.
