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

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.

Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one out of.

A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.
