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

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.

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