Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

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

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

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

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.
