A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

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

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

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

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

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

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

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

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.
