Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.

Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another.

Some people go to priests others to poetry I to my friends.

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

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

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

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

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.
