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

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

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one out of.

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

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

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.
