Some quotes I liked.
If it's very painful for you to criticize your friends - you're safe in doing it. But if you take the slightest pleasure in it, that's the time to hold your tongue.
-Alice Duer Miller-
A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.
-Arnold H. Glasow-
Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber.
-Plato-
The friend is the one who knows all about you, and still likes you.
-Elbert Hubbard-
A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be.
-Douglas Pagels-
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.
-Laurence J. Peter-
The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.
-Henry David Thoreau-
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. Except in cases of necessity, which are rare, leave your friend to learn unpleasant things from his enemies; they are ready enough to tell them.
-Oliver Wendell Holmes-
He removes the greatest ornament of friendship, who takes away from it respect.
-Cicero-
False friendship, like the ivy, decays and ruins the walls it embraces; but true friendship gives new life and animation to the object it supports.
-Richard Burton-
