A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

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

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.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.

Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

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