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

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

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.

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

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

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

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

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

When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.
