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

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

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

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

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

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

Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.
