Reprove your friends in secret, praise them openly.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Admonish your friends privately, but praise them openly.
Never reveal all of yourself to other people; hold back something in reserve so that people are never quite sure if they really know you.
Think twice before burdening a friend with a secret.
My friends know that they're my friends - even my enemies know that they're my friends.
To keep your secret is wisdom; but to expect others to keep it is folly.
Don't believe your friends when they ask you to be honest with them. All they really want is to be maintained in the good opinion they have of themselves.
Friends, if we be honest with ourselves, we shall be honest with each other.
When one is trying to do something beyond his known powers it is useless to seek the approval of friends. Friends are at their best in moments of defeat.
Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.
I have had friends who have acted kindly towards me, and it has been my good fortune to have it in my power to give them substantial proofs of my gratitude.
