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

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

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

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

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

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

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