Before him, I may think aloud. •Ralph Waldo Emerson,  If all men knew what others say of them, there would not be four friends in the world. •Blaise Pascal  I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better. •Plutarch  There is as much difference between the counsel that a friend giveth, and that a man giveth himself, as there is between counsel of a friend and a flatterer. •Francis Bacon  Friends, if we be honest with ourselves, we shall be honest with each other. •George Macdonald  A friend is, as it were, a second self. •Cicero   Friendship is Love without his wings! •Byron   To give counsel as well as to take it is a feature of true friendship. •Cicero   Words are easy, like the wind; Faithful friends are hard to find. •Shakespeare   That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end. •Quarles   He who has not the weakness of friendship has not the strength. •Joubert  Every friend is to the other a sun, and a sunflower also. •Richter   Our most intimate friend is not he to whom we show the worst, but the best of our nature. •Nathaniel Hawthorne   The rule of friendship means there should be mutual sympathy between them, each supplying what the other lacks and trying to benefit the other, always using friendly and sincere words. •Buddha   Friendship always benefits; love sometimes injures. •Seneca   The mind is lowered through association with inferiors.
