Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

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

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

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

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.

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