The best time to make friends is before you need them.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

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

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

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

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.

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

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

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.
