When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

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

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

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

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.
