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

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

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

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

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.

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

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

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

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.
