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

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

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!

Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

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

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

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

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

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