Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

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

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

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

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.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

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