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

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

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.

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

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

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

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

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

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.
