My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.

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.

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

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

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

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.
