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

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

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

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.

Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

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

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

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

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