True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

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

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

The best time to make friends is before you need them.

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship

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

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

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