“Allow a friend to believe in a bogus prospectus or a false promise and you cease, after a short while, to be a friend at all.”
“A false friend and a shadow attend only while the sun shines.”
“If all the world hated you and believed you wicked, while your own conscience approved of you and absolved you from guilt, you would not be without friends.”
“A friend's loyalty lasts longer than their memory. Over the course of a long friendship, you might fight with your friend, even get angry with them. But a true friend will forget that anger after a while, because their loyalty to their friend outweighs the memory of the disagreement.”
“You were supposed to empathize with your friend's problem, but they were, after all, your friend's problems...”
“True friends will always push you towards the great possibilities of your future, false friends will always chain you to the mistakes in your past.”
