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

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

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

Friends... they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.

Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations entangling alliances with none.

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

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

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