Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

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

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

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

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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 is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

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

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