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

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

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

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

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

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

It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

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