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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.

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

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

Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.
