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

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

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

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!

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 have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

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

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.
