Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

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

Friends... they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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

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.

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.

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.

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