There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

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.

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.

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

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

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.
