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

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

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

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

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.

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

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

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