A good motto is: use friendliness but do not use your friends.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think the way to keep a friendship is to respect that everybody is different.
Friends need not agree in everything or go always together, or have no comparable other friendships of the same intimacy.
Do not have evil-doers for friends, do not have low people for friends: have virtuous people for friends, have for friends the best of men.
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.
It is always well to accept your own shortcomings with candor but to regard those of your friends with polite incredulity.
One who knows how to show and to accept kindness will be a friend better than any possession.
Nothing is more dangerous than a friend without discretion; even a prudent enemy is preferable.
Admonish your friends privately, but praise them openly.
'Friends' will always remain friends.
Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.
