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

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

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

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

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

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