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

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

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

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.

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

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

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.
