Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

Two persons cannot long be friends if they cannot forgive each other's little failings.

Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing.

Things are never quite as scary when you've got a best friend.

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

Never do a wrong thing to make a friend or to keep one.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

Friendship and money: oil and water.

Where would you be without friends? The people to pick you up when you need lifting? We come from homes far from perfect, so you end up almost parent and sibling to your friends - your own chosen family. There's nothing like a really loyal, dependable, good friend. Nothing.

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.
