Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

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

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

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

Love is flower like Friendship is like a sheltering tree.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

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