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

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

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

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

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another.

Some people go to priests others to poetry I to my friends.

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

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