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

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

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

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

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

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

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

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.
