Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.
