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.

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

In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

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 something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
