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

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one out of.

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

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

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

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.

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

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.
