One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one out of.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

The best time to make friends is before you need them.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

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

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.
