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

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

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

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

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

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