A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

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

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

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

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

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

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

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.

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.
