Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

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

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

Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

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

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

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