A true friend stabs you in the front.
He would stab his best friend for the sake of writing an epigram on his tombstone.
Friendship is far more tragic than love. It lasts longer.
Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.
He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.
True friends stab you in the front.
I must remember that a good friend is a new world.
Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.
Ultimately the bond of all companionship, whether in marriage or in friendship, is conversation.
Hearts Live By Being Wounded
A good friend will always stab you in the front.
An excellent man; he has no enemies; and none of his friends like him.
Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and a richness to life that nothing else can bring.
An acquaintance that begins with a compliment is sure to develop into a real friendship.
