A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.
