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

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

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

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

One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship

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

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

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

Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.
