Whoever understands how to do a kindness when he fares well would be a friend better than any possession.

A friend should be one in whose understanding and virtue we can equally confide, and whose opinion we can value at once for its justness and its sincerity.

One who is kind is sympathetic and gentle with others. He is considerate of others' feelings and courteous in his behavior. He has a helpful nature. Kindness pardons others' weaknesses and faults. Kindness is extended to all - to the aged and the young, to animals, to those low of station as well as the high.

To be a friend means that they are always there, for the good or the bad.

Kindness is a passport that opens doors and fashions friends. It softens hearts and molds relationships that can last lifetimes.

Kindness is a sort of love without being love.

Kindness makes a fellow feel good whether it's being done to him or by him.

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.

One does nothing who tries to console a despondent person with word. A friend is one who aids with deeds at a critical time when deeds are called for.

An enemy to whom you show kindness becomes your friend, excepting lust, the indulgence of which increases its enmity.
