As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

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.

Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

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

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

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

Be slow to fall into friendship but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.
