Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

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

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

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

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.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

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

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.
