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

Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

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

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

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

When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.
