Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

You can always tell a real friend; when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

The good fellow to everyone is a good friend to no one.

Words are easy, like the wind; Faithful friends are hard to find.

Friendship is like a bank account. You can't continue to draw on it without making deposits.

Reprove your friends in secret, praise them openly.

With true friends... even water drunk together is sweet enough.

There can be no friendship where there is no freedom. Friendship loves a free air, and will not be fenced up in straight and narrow enclosures.

Don't flatter yourself that friendship authorizes you to say disagreeable things to your intimates. The nearer you come into relation with a person, the more necessary do tact and courtesy become.
