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.

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.
