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

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

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

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

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

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

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