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

Be slow to fall into friendship but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings

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

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

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

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.
