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

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

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

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

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.

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.
