To mingle friendship far is mingling bloods.
To set a gloss on faint deeds, hollow welcomes, Recanting goodness, sorry ere 'tis shown; But where there is true friendship, there needs none.
Keep thy friend Under thy own life's key.
A heaven on earth I have won by wooing thee.
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, All losses are restored and sorrows end.
Neither a borrower nor a lender be, for loan oft loses both itself and friend, and borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
Words are easy, like the wind; Faithful friends are hard to find.
To help a friend in need is easy, but to give him your time is not always opportune.
The mirror is my best friend because when I cry it never laughs.
One discovers a friend by chance, and cannot but feel regret that 20 or 30 years of life may have been spent without the least knowledge of him.
