I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.

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

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

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

To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.

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