The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

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

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

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

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

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

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