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

Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.

Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations entangling alliances with none.

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.

Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.
