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

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

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.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.

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

To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.
