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

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

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

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

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

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

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.
