Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

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.

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

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

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.
