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.

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

True friendship is like sound health the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.

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

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

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