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

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

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

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

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.

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

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

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

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