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

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

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

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

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.

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.
