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

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

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

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

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