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

In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.

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

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.

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

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.
