It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

Some people go to priests others to poetry I to my friends.

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

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

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

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

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

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.
