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.

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.

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

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

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

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.
