If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give.

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

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

Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.

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