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

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

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

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.
