It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

If it’s very painful for you to criticize your friends you’re safe in doing it. But if you take the slightest pleasure in it, that’s the time to hold your tongue.

The best rule of friendship is to keep your heart a little softer than your head.

Tis a great confidence in a friend to tell him your faults; greater to tell him his.

Never miss an opportunity to make others happy, even if you have to leave them alone in order to do it.

If you don’t like how things are, change it!
