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.

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

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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

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

It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

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