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 improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

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

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

Friends... they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.
