Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

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

It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

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

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