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.

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

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

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

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

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

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

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

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.
