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

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

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

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

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.
