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

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

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

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.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.
