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

Be slow to fall into friendship but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

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

To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in 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.
