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

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

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

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

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

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.
