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

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.

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

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

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.

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.

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

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