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

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.

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

Some people go to priests others to poetry I to my friends.

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

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

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

When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.
