Rh If you cannot bear the faults of a friend, you make them your own [because you have not the charity to correct them].

Be not blind to a friend's faults, nor hate him for them.

If you bear the faults of a friend, you make them your own [that is, you show a disposition to correct them].

When you fall short in what is due to yourself, you are lacking towards your friends.

Friendship either finds or makes equals.

Friendship ever profits, but love ever injures.

Confidence is the only bond of friendship.

Adversity shows whether we have friends, or only the shadows of friends.

We should not injure a friend even in sport.

The loss of a friend is the greatest of losses.

The loss which is unknown is no loss at all.

Love cannot be stifled, but it may die out.

There can be no alliance between Love and Fear.

Love is the source of an idle anxiety.
