If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

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

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

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

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

Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.

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

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.
