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

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

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

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

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

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

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

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

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