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.

True friendship is like sound health the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

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

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

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.
