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

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

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

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

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

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.
