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.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

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

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.

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

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

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

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.
