The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.

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

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

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.

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

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.

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.

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.
