Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.

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

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

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

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

He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

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

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.
